Co-sponsoring North Carolina's Network of Grantmakers' Annual Meeting and Conference is truly fulfilling as it allows us to tap into a vibrant community where philanthropy organizations gather to forge powerful connections and shape impactful strategies. Truly needed in North Carolina for the nonprofits and communities we serve. Nurturing relationships is at the very core of what we do!

We joined Greensboro community partners UNCG Center for New North Carolinians, Montagnard Association of North Carolina Inc., and New Arrivals Institute at the Immigrant Mental Health Solidarity Network for its second annual convening. This year’s theme, Solidarity Through Resilience: A Convening of Hope, brought together leaders and advocates from across North Carolina.

Hosted by El Futuro and the NC Counts Coalition, the event created space for meaningful dialogue about advancing immigrant mental health and strengthening support across North Carolina communities.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of our Building Capacity Together grant!

Through this initiative, we invested $450,000 in capacity-building projects for Greensboro-based organizations working across our priority social drivers of health.

Capacity building strengthens the internal operations and infrastructure of organizations already doing impactful work in our community — helping ensure long-term sustainability, growth, and greater impact.

Learn more about our grant partners:

Capacity building is not just about the operations of an organization today–it’s an investment in the growth and effectiveness of the organization into the future, ultimately allowing these organizations to scale their engagement with the communities they serve.
