Endowed Funds for the Community
Since 1919, hundreds of generous community members have partnered with the Foundation to improve the quality of life for residents in Winston-Salem. By pooling the collective contributions of donors who create unrestricted and field of interest funds, the Foundation can respond to evolving challenges over time through grantmaking and impact investing. We are most thankful to donors who establish flexible funds to benefit our community forever.
