Our 2021 Year-End Report is Here!
We’re pleased to share our year-end report, Moving Forward Together, which reflects our deep roots in the community and collective accomplishments over the past few challenging years, and how we envision moving forward in our role as a community foundation.

Do you want to better understand how we're investing in Forsyth County and how you can get involved? Are you curious about what percentage of our grants are Foundation-directed vs. donor-directed? We hope you’ll spend some time with the report to find out! 

You can also read more about a few of our nonprofit partners, including the Asset Building Coalition of Forsyth County, The Centers for Exceptional Children, Neighborhood’s Hands, Triad Restorative Justice, Unity Women’s Desk, and Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance.
 
We hope this report deepens your understanding of the Foundation, and we invite you to join with us as we move forward together!
