Generosity Shines in this Season of Giving
Where generosity shines, we believe that anything is possible. We’re excited to share with you a new video that highlights just a few of the many organizations that are making Winston-Salem a better place for all our residents, both now and in the future. 

As you make end-of-year gifts to the nonprofits, schools, and religious institutions you care most about, please consider also supporting our Next Century Fund. Your gift will be pooled with others to support the Foundation's grantmaking to hundreds of nonprofits in our community in the coming year.
At a Glance: Latest News & Events
The Black Philanthropy Initiative recently announced the launch of a transformative three-year, $2 million campaign to ensure resources are available to invest at least $250,000 annually in local Black-led nonprofits.

The Foundation is honored to be among BPI's earliest campaign supporters with an initial investment of $500,000.
As the only local funding initiative that is 100% Black-led and explicitly focused on strengthening local Black communities, BPI honors the long and significant history of Black giving and offers a powerful way to give back.
We enjoyed gathering with our Legacy Society members at Biotech Place in early November for the first time in four years! The Legacy Society was created to recognize donors who have established or plan to establish permanent funds at the Foundation. We are thankful for the generous contributions of individuals and families who want to help strengthen our community both now and in the future.
The Women's Fund of Winston-Salem held its 17th annual luncheon celebration on 11/16, where close to 400 friends and members gathered to celebrate the power of collective giving. The Fund was also excited to announce 10 grants totaling $139,000 to organizations working to improve the lives of women and girls in Forsyth County.
