Description

This grant program from the Winston-Salem Foundation is designed to strengthen community-led organizations or fiscally sponsored groups that are led by and accountable to communities most impacted by inequities in Forsyth County, North Carolina. The Foundation prioritizes projects with leadership from people with lived experience and historically marginalized groups, meaningful community accountability practices, and strong, trust-based relationships with the communities served. The approach is rooted in racial equity and aims to uplift local residents, families, and communities by supporting organizations that address root causes, advance systems-level change, use asset-based approaches, collaborate for shared outcomes, and are committed to learning and improvement.
