Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro provides great giving options.

Choose the one that’s right for you.

Any of these funds can be established in your name, or in the name of your family, your organization, or anyone you wish to honor. All grants distributed from the fund you establish – today and in the future – are then awarded to charities in the name of that fund. It’s a great way to always be involved with, and remembered for, your community investment.

Donor Advised Funds

You can have ongoing involvement in the use of your gift. You will receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction and flexibility to time gift recommendations to charities – now or in the future. You may work with our professional program staff, identifying ways to use dollars from the Donor Advised Fund you establish to address the issues and needs you care about most. Your fund can be named or be created anonymously.

Ricky Proehl Family Fund

Community Grantmaking Funds

Your gift can address ever-changing community needs – including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. We make grants for all aspects of community well-being – arts and culture, economic development, education, environment, health and human services, neighborhood revitalization, and more. The flexibility of your Community Grantmaking gift enables your community foundation’s program experts to respond to our community’s most pressing needs, today and tomorrow.

Field of Interest Funds

You can target your gift to address needs in an important area of community life. Arts. AIDS. Aging. At-risk youth. You identify your personal interest area when making your gift; our board awards grants to Greater Greensboro organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select.

The Foil Fund for Adult Literacy

Scholarships

You can invest your gift in our community’s future and show students you care, all with the guidance and personal service of your community Foundation. You determine the criteria students must meet to receive the Scholarship you establish. With your assistance, students achieve their academic and career-oriented goals – from preschool to postgraduate work.

The Helen and Jim Guidone Scholarship

Designated Funds

You can direct your gift to a specific nonprofit organization or purpose. Help provide ongoing funding for a senior center, museum, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization. Nonprofit organizations can use a Designated Fund through the Community Foundation to build their endowment and enhance their ability to accept large and complex gifts.

The Calcutta Children's Permanent Fund

Supporting Organizations

You can use your gift to establish an excellent alternative to a private foundation – with only a fraction of the administrative responsibilities. You select some of the board members, maintain personal involvement, and support the causes and organizations you care about while enjoying the favorable tax treatment of a public charity. Leave investment management, startup costs, grant administration, and reporting to your community foundation.
