WALKER SANDERS
Celebrating 25 Years at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro
Growing Together, Rooted in Purpose
At the Community Foundation, we speak of planting seeds—seeds of hope, opportunity, and lasting change. In 2024, we witnessed those seeds begin to sprout in remarkable and inspiring ways. New growth emerged through the energy of young philanthropists and the steadfast commitment of legacy donors. Bright shoots of collaboration took root in our housing initiatives and workforce development efforts. Together, we nurtured and cultivated the rich, diverse community garden that is Greensboro.
Growing with Greensboro… By Growing Philanthropy
The Community Foundation’s total assets grew from $296 million in 2023 to $329 million in 2024. Our investments rebounded, contributions reached $18 million, and we opened 21 new charitable funds. In partnership with you, we distributed 3,022 grants and scholarships totaling $18 million to care for and create opportunities for people across Greensboro and beyond.
The Teen Grantmaking Council, an inspired group of 28 high school students from 13 schools across Guilford County, enjoyed a resurgence and funded youth-led initiatives addressing food insecurity, youth education, and immigrants and refugees. The Future Fund, a group of charitable, young professionals announced $60,000 in healthcare grants at their Garden of Giving celebration and strengthened their grantmaking process, community engagement, and membership in 2024.
New roses bloomed from the life and legacy of Roger Anthony (York David Anthony Scholarship Fund). Ron Johnson (Philanthropic Leadership Award) and Kim and Danny Gatling (LaDaniel and Kimberly Gatling Fund) share the fruits of their labor, and (Legacy Society Member) Ross Harris, like her parents before her, “plants shade trees under which (s)he knows full well (s)he will never sit.”
Growing with Greensboro… By Making Impactful Investments
Our Community Grants and Initiatives Program awarded $353,000 to organizations advancing economic mobility, health and wellness, and cultural vibrancy. The Buddy Weill Fund invested $1.2 million in senior housing, including a grant to The Servant Center, whose newest program offers shelter to female veterans vulnerable to victimization while unhoused. The Future Fund’s grant to the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy Association is helping parents navigate complex healthcare systems and become better advocates for their children.
Eastern Triad Workforce Initiative (ETWI) made significant investments in career readiness and workforce development programs across Guilford County, and a Guilford Apprenticeship Partners (GAP) student apprentice was recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor’s inaugural Apprenticeship Trailblazer initiative.
The Black Investments in Greensboro (BIG) Equity Fund celebrated the legacy of Madam C.J. Walker, a trailblazing entrepreneur and philanthropist in her own right, and Women to Women trumpeted its largest grantmaking year in its history.
2024 was a great year for the Public Art Endowment (see the photos!), and for the first time ever, the Greater Greensboro Music Census captured key information to help the city and community make more informed, datadriven decisions to support the region’s music ecosystem.
Growing with Greensboro… By Building an Equitable Community Attainable housing at every level remains a thorny, deep-rooted challenge in our community. In 2024, the Community Foundation convened the Unhoused Working Group, a cross-sector collaborative to address immediate needs and long-term solutions for Greensboro’s unhoused population, and the Greensboro Housing Loan Fund closed its first loans contributing to the development of 23 single-family dwelling units in the 27406 and 27401 zip codes and has several other projects in the pipeline or in origination.
The Guilford Nonprofit Consortium grew its membership to 337 organizations—a 10% increase from 2023–and launched new leadership development programs and institutional partnerships to sustain and strengthen our region’s nonprofit sector. Similarly, the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro remained deeply rooted in the soil of our local community this past year, tending to the garden of the common good with unwavering focus.
Thank you for lending us your hands, your heart, and your means as we toil in this evergreen labor of love.
Our work is not a passing season but a long-standing commitment, grounded in the values that have guided us for the past 42 years. Just as a gardener tends to their crops year after year, we will persist in nurturing Greensboro’s growth, fostering a thriving future for all and ensuring our efforts bear fruit for generations to come.
With much appreciation,
2023-2033

Growing with Greensboro by . . .
The Community Foundation is growing philanthropy by deepening donor engagement, increasing permanent endowments, and strengthening legacy giving.
In 2024, the Community Foundation distributed 3,022 grants and scholarships totaling $17.7 million. Contributions jumped from $13.6 million in 2023 to $18.2 million in 2024, and total assets grew from $295 million to $329 million, respectively.
In 2024, the Teen Grantmaking Council (TGC), an amazing group of 28 high school students from 13 schools across Guilford County, tackled pressing community challenges through participatory grantmaking. Each member earned their spot through a competitive screening process and brought fresh ideas and a passion to make Greensboro a better place for their peers. TGC members chose food insecurity and sustainability, youth development and education, and race/immigrant and refugee status as their 2024 funding areas.
TGC launched two new committees, the Marketing and Communications Committee and the Grants Committee. The marketing committee learned how to create campaigns and engaging outreach materials, and the grants committee revamped its grant application process. After five hours of interviews, lively discussions, and careful deliberations, TGC awarded a total of $20,000 to eight inspiring youth-led initiatives—projects designed by young people and for young people to build a brighter future for Greensboro.
TGC isn’t just about giving grants. It’s about growing leaders, amplifying youth voices, and making sure teens have a meaningful seat at the philanthropic table. In 2024, they showed just how powerful that can be.

“In 2024, Future Fund focused on strengthening our foundation for growth and implementing systems to benefit our endowment and the community. I’m especially proud of our Grants Committee and our Engagement Committee for building relationships with individuals eager to support our mission and to make our grants process more accessible for applicants.”
Tyler Lee,
Co-Chair
Future Fund Steering Committee
“I’m proud to celebrate another great year for Future Fund! After taking time to regroup in 2023, the changes we implemented in 2024 led to strong membership growth. It’s exciting to see that we’re on the right track—and even more exciting to know that we’re building momentum to continue making a real impact on our city.”
Bri Williamson, Co-Chair Future Fund Steering Committee
Q: What are the most common motivations for donors to establish a scholarship fund?
CL: One reason that donors choose to open a scholarship fund is to honor the memory of a family member or friend. Also, companies may open a scholarship fund and stipulate that a recipient of the scholarship be a dependent of an employee. Many donors simply care about education and want to provide an opportunity for the student to complete a college degree.
Q: What advice would you give someone considering creating a scholarship fund but unsure where to start?
CL: I’d suggest the donor ask themself what the desired outcome is for establishing the scholarship fund. If the answer is to help the student finish college, consider establishing the scholarship as renewable for four years. Oftentimes a student receives a one-year scholarship covering their freshman year only and their goal of attaining a college degree extends beyond their reach and resources.
Q: What feedback do you typically hear from scholarship recipients about how this funding changed their educational or career trajectory?
CL: I often hear that it wouldn’t have been possible for a recipient to attend college without financial assistance. A past recipient of one of our scholarships told me, “The scholarship I received greatly reduced the stress of my parents who live paycheck to paycheck and couldn’t afford to contribute to the cost of my college.”
Q: What is the most rewarding part of managing scholarship funds, and what impact have you seen firsthand?
CL: The most rewarding part of my work is staying in contact with a recipient as they complete their degree and beyond.
Q: What advice would you give to students applying for scholarships to improve their chances of success?
CL: My top tips are these: have someone proofread your application essay for correct punctuation and spelling; take the initiative to follow up with your references and alert them that they were named; and reach out to our office with any questions as you move through the application process.

Roger Anthony was a dedicated leader, philanthropist, and community advocate whose impact on Greensboro spanned decades. A proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Roger went on to build a distinguished 31-year career at Burlington Industries, rising to the role of Corporate Group Vice President through hard work, integrity, and exceptional leadership.
But Roger’s greatest legacy lived beyond the boardroom—in the community he loved. He devoted countless hours to tutoring students, volunteering at his grandchildren’s school, and helping seniors navigate Medicare. His quiet acts of service touched lives across generations.
In 1997, Roger and his wife, Gloria, created the York David Anthony Scholarship in loving memory of their son. The scholarship supports students pursuing careers in engineering—a field close to their hearts—and has awarded more than $80,834 to aspiring engineers over the years. Roger’s unwavering belief in education, opportunity, and giving back continues to inspire. His
life reminds us that philanthropy isn’t just about giving—it’s about building a better future for others.
In 2024, the Community Foundation launched the Professional Advisors Network—a growing group of expert advisors partnering with the foundation to help philanthropists make a lasting impact in Greensboro. Network members serve as our ambassadors by keeping informed of the foundation’s community initiatives and sharing this knowledge with clients seeking to realize their own charitable goals. Membership is free and includes these benefits:
• Recognition alongside other prestigious advisors on the Community Foundation’s website and promotional materials.
• Exclusive invitation to an annual continuing education event.
• Eligibility for the Philanthropic Leadership Award which recognizes an exceptional professional advisor for their commitment to philanthropy.
• Special Invitations to foundation events, networking opportunities, and special convenings.
• Access to a philanthropic advisors’ toolkit for client conversations.
In its inaugural year, the Professional Advisors Network grew to 22 members. We are excited to continue building this community of trusted partners dedicated to advancing philanthropy across Greensboro and beyond.

In 2024, the Community Foundation proudly introduced the Philanthropic Leadership Award recognizing an outstanding professional advisor who demonstrates a deep commitment to philanthropy through both their professional practice and personal life. The inaugural award was presented to Ron Johnson, an accomplished estate planning attorney, dedicated civic leader, and member of the foundation’s Professional Advisors Committee.
Ron consistently exemplified excellence in his field throughout his career. Board-certified in estate planning and probate law, he is a former board member and past president of the Greensboro Estate Planning Council. His professional achievements include repeated recognition in Business North Carolina’s “Legal Elite” for Tax & Estate Planning.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ron has made a lasting impact on the Greensboro community through his leadership and service. He has founded community nonprofits, served on numerous nonprofit boards, and remains a powerful advocate for philanthropy and civic engagement.
The Philanthropic Leadership Award reflects the Community Foundation’s core values of fairness, teamwork, respect, excellence, integrity, empathy, and honesty. Ron was selected for this honor by the foundation’s
Professional Advisors Committee, following his nomination by Kristen Yntema, President and CEO of AuthoraCare Collective, and Ashley Madden, Director of Financial Planning Services at GenCrest Capital Partners and Chair of the Professional Advisors Committee.
Through Ron’s example and this recognition, the Community Foundation celebrates the critical role professional advisors play in shaping philanthropy in Greensboro and ensuring a lasting impact for generations to come.
Ross Harris’s connection to the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro spans decades and multiple roles. She first became involved in 1984 when her parents, inspired by a desire to honor the life of her late brother, established an endowment at the Foundation, just one year after its founding.
Their decision was guided by Cynthia Doyle, a close family friend and one of the visionary leaders behind the Community Foundation. Ross still vividly recalls Cynthia sitting in the den of her childhood home—now her own—explaining the Foundation’s purpose with passion and clarity. “If you knew Cynthia,” Ross said warmly, “you couldn’t say no to her.”
A native of Greensboro, Ross spent time in Chicago before returning in 1994. She brought with her a renewed commitment to her hometown, eventually joining the staff of the Community Foundation and serving until her retirement. “It was the perfect way to close out my career—working for an organization that had meant so much to my family and community,” she shared.
Her deep involvement didn’t end there. As a proud member of CFGG’s Legacy Society, Ross has committed a portion of her estate to continue supporting the Foundation’s mission for years to come.
Legacy, for Ross, is not about recognition or accolades. It’s about impact. “A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit,” she quotes D. Elton Trueblood. Her legacy gift will go to her family’s original endowment, continuing the work her parents started 40 years ago. “I won’t be here to see the impact,” she said, “but I trust the Foundation will use it for the right reasons and the right people.”
Reflecting on what legacy means to her, Ross emphasizes service, compassion, and the power of quiet, consistent giving. “It’s not about bricks and mortar. It’s about caring— about giving with purpose,” she said. Through her lifelong relationship with the Community Foundation as a donor, staff member, and now Legacy Society member, Ross Harris continues to plant seeds of hope and progress in Greensboro—ensuring that generations to come can thrive under the shade of the trees she’s helped grow.
Legacy gifts to the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro provide permanent funding to address needs in our community and demonstrate the value of charitable giving for generations. Best of all, legacy gifts aren’t solely transferred through estates. We offer many options for legacy gifts that you can make right now, while you’re here to help decide how the funds are used and to see the impact your gift makes on Greensboro.
Learn how you can join CFGG’s Legacy Society by contacting Cathy Knowles (cknowles@cfgg.org) or Sarah Britt (sbritt@cfgg.org)

At its annual August celebration, at Proximity Hotel*, the Black Investments in Greensboro (BIG) Equity Fund honored the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most impactful entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and civil rights supporters in the U.S.–Madam C. J. Walker. For many in attendance that evening, it was a revelation that the first female self-made millionaire in the United States was an African American woman that grew “from the cotton fields of the South” to become a haircare and cosmetics magnate whose impact is still felt today.
For Black Philanthropy Month, BIG Equity Fund hosted Dr. Tyrone McKinley Freeman, acclaimed historian and author of Madam C.J. Walker’s Gospel of Giving: Black Women’s Philanthropy in Jim Crow, to discuss his well-researched biography. Dr. McKinley Freeman told the story of how, in a time of brutal segregation, Madam C.J. Walker dared to use her fortune to fund Black institutions, support grassroots movements, and empower women who had long been denied a voice.
Through Dr. Freeman’s compelling storytelling, attendees were reminded that philanthropy in the Black community is not a borrowed ideal, but a deeply rooted tradition born from struggle, faith, and collective responsibility. His study of Madam C.J. Walker reframed giving as a transformative act of legacy and leadership. He challenged BIG Equity Fund’s audience to continue investing in Black-led movements that carry forward this proud and powerful tradition. Black Investments in Greensboro Equity Fund is chaired by Mae Douglas.

Eastern Triad Workforce Initiative’s (ETWI) strategic investments are setting the stage for a stronger, more agile workforce to drive the region’s prosperity. In 2024, ETWI focused on enhancing education, career readiness, and economic opportunities across Guilford County. By aligning workforce development with industry needs, ETWI is fostering a more responsive and inclusive workforce ecosystem. Key highlights include:
• Workforce Ecosystem Heat Map: Developed in partnership with the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce to align industry needs with talent development.
• Employer Engagement: Hosted an employer engagement breakfast to foster collaboration among business leaders and community organizations.
• STEM Initiatives: Organized a STEM camp to expose young students to science and technology fields, ensuring hands-on learning opportunities.
• GuilfordWorks: Supporting incumbent worker training, youth advocacy programs, and the Mobile Career Center.
• Action Greensboro and High Point Chamber Foundation: Backing leadership development programs such as Campus Greensboro Fellows and SynerG leadership initiatives.
• Guilford County Schools: Investments in Career and Technical Education (CTE) marketing and infrastructure to ensure students have the tools for success.
• Guilford Apprenticeship Partnership (GAP): Funding for digital devices, recruitment materials and website updates, and the facilitation of access to high-quality career paths for students.
Ann Flynt aflynt@cfgg.org
In 2024, the Guilford Apprenticeship Partnership (GAP) marked its ninth year of preparing high school students for in-demand careers through hands-on, paid apprenticeships. What began as a local workforce development initiative has grown into a powerful launchpad for young professionals in Guilford County and the surrounding region. Last year alone, the program graduated 23 remarkable students at its August commencement ceremony—each a testament to the lifechanging power of opportunity, mentorship, and real-world experience.
Guilford Apprenticeship Partnership welcomed 50 new apprentices into its 2024 cohort from 21 different high schools. These students’ diverse backgrounds, talents, and interests were matched with 13 companies across Guilford County that continue to champion youth workforce development. The new apprentices began their journeys in one of ten specialized industry tracks: accounting, advanced manufacturing, automotive, HVAC, information technology, machining, mechatronics, pharmacy tech, supply chain and logistics, and welding.
These tracks are designed to not only meet the evolving needs of local industries but also to give students hands-on experience that translates into long-term career opportunities. Throughout the year, apprentices worked alongside seasoned professionals, earned college credit, and developed the technical and soft skills needed to thrive in competitive fields.
Graduates of the GAP program complete an associate’s degree, earn a journeyworker’s certification, and gain four years of hands-on experience, launching their careers with valuable credentials and no student debt.
Joshua Baxley, an advanced manufacturing apprentice with Ziehl-Abegg, emerged from the GAP program as a skilled tradesperson and voice for the future of American workforce development. Joshua’s tireless dedication earned him a spot in the U.S. Department of Labor’s inaugural Apprenticeship Trailblazers program—an elite cohort spotlighting young leaders shaping the modern trades landscape. He was honored at the White House during National Apprenticeship Week demonstrates what becomes possible when schools, industry, and government unite with a shared vision.
Josh Baxley now serves as a Junior Project Engineer, traveling across the United States and Canada. He was promoted into this role during his third year in the program, before even completing it, thanks to his exceptional performance and deep understanding of how every aspect of the trade works together.

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT: FUTURE FUND GRANTEE
For over 70 years, the Growing Connections for Pediatric Achievements (GCPA) has been a leader in providing early intervention and support for children with developmental differences. GCPA ensures every child, regardless of diagnosis, receives the support needed to grow and thrive.
GCPA offers a comprehensive range of therapies for infants and toddlers with developmental delays, including speech, physical, and occupational therapies. Its classroom-based model fosters social and emotional growth, while personalized care promotes both cognitive and physical development. Beyond therapy, GCPA equips families with tools and education to support their child’s development at home, including home visits from licensed therapists.
“The 2024 Future Fund grant will enhance our Community-Based Rehabilitative Services Program, helping families navigate healthcare systems and empowering them to advocate for their children,” said Ma’Kayla Jefcoat, Executive Director of GCPA. “As Greensboro grows, GCPA remains a beacon of inclusion—offering families not just care, but hope and empowerment.” Learn more at gcpacenter.org.
Women to Women (W2W) continues to lead the charge in transforming lives through bold, strategic philanthropy. As a collective giving initiative of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, Women to Women welcomed nine new members, bringing its membership to over 200—45% of whom have pledged more than $25,000 to the endowment.
W2W’s 14th Annual Luncheon, Blooming Together: Celebrating Brave Women, Bold Actions & Brighter Futures, featured keynote speaker Liz Murray whose powerful story of overcoming adversity encouraged attendees to embrace their role in fostering resilience and purpose in their communities.
Women to Women awarded $276,000 in grants in 2024—the largest single-year grant total in its history. The initiative also released InvestinginChange:A2024 ReviewofWomenandChildreninGuilfordCounty , using local data to guide informed grantmaking decisions.

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT BUDDY WEILL FUND GRANTEE
Thanks to a transformative $250,000 grant from Charles L. “Buddy” Weill Fund, The Servant Center (TSC) is expanding its services for unhoused, seniors, veterans, disabled, and medically fragile individuals.
In response to the unexpected sale of their administrative building, TSC pivoted by purchasing Holden Heights, a former nursing home, in June 2024. This 30,000 square-foot space will house TSC’s new Medical Respite Unit (MRU), the first in Guilford County and only the fifth in North Carolina. With 22 specialized beds, the MRU will provide a safe recovery space for individuals discharged from hospitals who cannot recover on the streets or in shelters.
Holden Heights will also allow TSC to provide shelter for female veterans, a particularly vulnerable group. The facility’s private rooms and amenities, including an on-site barber shop and game room, enhance residents’ safety and dignity. In its first year, the MRU will serve 40–50 individuals, and TSC’s expanded services will shelter and support 50–55 veterans and 250 individuals and families annually. The Buddy Weill Fund’s grant is crucial to making this vision a reality.
In a landmark initiative for Greensboro’s creative economy, the 2024 Greater Greensboro Music Census cast a long-overdue spotlight on the city’s vibrant yet often underrecognized music community. Conducted as a grassroots effort with support from the Community Foundation, the Arts Council of Greater Greensboro, and Downtown Greensboro Inc. (DGI), the census captured responses from more than 1,250 individuals representing a broad spectrum of the local music ecosystem.
Administered by industry research leader Sound Music Cities, the census gathered in-depth data on musician demographics, job roles, income sources, and experiences with diversity, equity, and belonging. This initiative marked the first time Greensboro has taken a systematic, data-driven look at its music sector, a creative economy long fueled by passion but hampered by a lack of infrastructure and support.
Among the most striking takeaways was the overwhelming financial vulnerability faced by music creatives, many of whom rely on live performances in a city grappling with rising costs. The census underscored a clear need for diversified revenue streams to stabilize
careers and sustain creative output. Perhaps most importantly, it offered a framework for policy rooted in community voice.
To build on the momentum, a series of six roundtable discussions took place in October, led by Sound Music Cities founder Don Pitts. The sessions brought together over 100 participants to unpack the findings and chart a future for a more sustainable, inclusive, and economically viable music scene. Participants—from full-time musicians and venue owners to educators and fans—shared insights and brainstormed strategies, turning raw data into community-led action. With this data in hand, Greensboro now has a foundation to build a music scene that not only entertains but endures—economically, culturally, and equitably.

SCULPTURE UNVEILING: “COROUS”
BY CLIFF GARTEN
In the fall of 2024, the Public Art Endowment (PAE), under the leadership of Cheryl Stewart, unveiled Corous, a stunning sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Cliff Garten, on the Moses Cone Memorial Hospital Campus. Installed in the green space between the Women’s and Children’s Center and the Heart and Vascular Center, the 12-foot sculpture was made possible through the generosity of Public Art Endowment Trustees and Cone Health donors.
Crafted from stainless steel rods and mirror-polished plates, Corous is both a vessel of light and a reflective meditation on form and space. “We peer into its open form and can read our own image in the mirror of its surface,” Garten said. The piece glows with sunlight by day and transforms under LED light by night—an emblem of healing and renewal for all who pass through.
A landmark partnership between the City of Greensboro and the Public Art Endowment will bring public art to the Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex. Located in East Greensboro, this transformative project prioritizes the voices of underserved communities and the neighborhood’s historic significance. Throughout 2024, a diverse committee of stakeholders guided the artist selection process, ultimately choosing Malene Barnett to create an interior mosaic wall. Known for her community-centered work, Barnett will begin engagement and design in spring 2025, creating a piece that will reflect the vibrancy and resilience of the local community.
“TREASURE
The cityscape of Greensboro will soon feature its largest public art mural to date—Monique Luck’s Treasure the Moment, a 5,835 sq. ft. artwork adorning the parking deck next to Cone Health’s new Heart & Vascular Center. This vibrant mural, visible from Wendover Avenue, incorporates floral patterns, community symbolism, and red and blue lines to evoke themes of vitality and healing. Luck drew inspiration from an 1846 letter within the Cone family archives, highlighting values of generosity and mindfulness. “It’s a tribute to our shared spirit and a reminder to cherish every moment,” said Luck of her design, which speaks to both Cone Health’s mission and Greensboro’s deep-rooted culture of care.

In 2024, the Public Art Endowment deepened its commitment to artistic excellence by expanding its Artist Selection Committee. Composed of 5–9 local and regional arts professionals and PAE trustees, the committee plays a critical role in identifying and advising artists throughout the public art commissioning process.
This year, Roy Carter, Director of the Visual Arts Program at North Carolina A&T State University, was appointed Chair, following the tenures of Nancy Doll and Laura Way. With his rich knowledge of public art and Greensboro’s cultural landscape, Carter brings invaluable perspective to the committee’s efforts to ensure public art continues to reflect and enrich the city’s identity.
It’s the golden hour in Greensboro. The sun casts a warm glow over LeBauer Park as Latin music floats through the air. Families, friends, and hesitant partners gather near the oversized concrete letters that mark the park’s grassy edge. There, on the patio, beneath the open sky and sweeping rose and blue rope sculpture Where We Met, Maria Gonzalez, board member for Casa Azul of Greensboro, leads a beginner salsa class—her voice clear, inviting, and full of encouragement.
Since 2011, Casa Azul of Greensboro has brought people together through a shared love of Latin American arts and culture. What began as a grassroots effort to promote regional Latino art and artists has grown into a flourishing cultural garden—rooted in community and blooming with free, high-quality programs that honor artists, affirm our city’s diversity, and inspire belonging.
A highlight of the year was the visit by award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh to the newly opened Sylvia Mendez Newcomers School—the first public school in North Carolina named for a Latino. For the students—many recently arrived refugees—Tonatiuh’s visit was far more than a discussion of his own book on Sylvia Mendez, Separate Is Never Equal. In Duncan’s words, artwork, and personal story, these students saw themselves. And in that moment, they were reminded that their experiences, identities, and voices mattered.
Last fall, Casa Azul’s arts and education series, Chronicles de Cocina: The Stories We Tell Through Latinx Food, explored Latin American culture through culinary art— featuring a gallery exhibition, artists’ talk, and special event with acclaimed cookbook author Sandra Gutierrez. The series culminated in an evening of literature, music, and poetry at Scuppernong Books, where community gathered to taste, hear, and feel the richness of Latino heritage and the acoustic melodies of Colombian-American singer Dora Cardona.
Casa Azul’s well-attended programs activate downtown Greensboro, fuel small businesses, and affirm that Latino culture is essential to the city’s vibrancy and future. As Claudia Femenias, Casa Azul’s board co-chair, put it, “We give Greensboro more than just events—our programs and partnerships provide a glimpse of our community’s potential.”
When culture is honored, voices are lifted, and stories are shared—under a blushing sunset, in an artistic space, or within a classroom—something beautiful, lasting, and deeply human begins to grow. As Greensboro evolves and Casa Azul blossoms alongside it, the organization remains firmly rooted in its purpose: to affirm, to enlighten, and to connect through arts and culture—one story, one step, one gathering at a time.
Growing with Greensboro by . . .
The Community Foundation is building an equitable community by living our values, boosting operational excellence, and developing its social impact portfolio.
The Community Foundation convened the Unhoused Working Group, a cross-sector collaborative to address immediate needs and long-term solutions for Greensboro’s unhoused population, and the Greensboro Housing Loan Fund closed its first loans in 2024.
Tim Rice, Community Foundation Board Member and former CEO of Cone Health Systems is chairing the Unhoused Working Group–a diverse coalition of nonprofit service providers, faith organizations, private sector leaders, public sector representatives, and Greensboro residents with lived experience as unhoused individuals. This inclusive approach ensures that solutions are integrated, practical, and informed by real-world experience.
The Greensboro Housing Loan Fund, which to date has secured $21 million towards a targeted $32.5 million loan fund, made its first loans in 2024. Institute Capital (ICAP), an affiliate of the National Institute of Minority Economic
Development, closed three loans totaling $472,000 for 23 total housing units that are rental renovations and single-family dwellings (SFD). These units are located in the 27406 and 27401 zip codes.
(Self-Help), which also administers a portion of the Greensboro Housing Loan Fund, did not close any loans in 2024; however, it has three loans in origination totaling $2.8 million that will support the creation or preservation of 204 affordable units in 2025.
The Guilford Nonprofit Consortium, an initiative of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, experienced a year of significant growth and transformation. With support from the Community Foundation and seven other local funders, the Consortium expanded its membership to 337 organizations—a 10% increase from 2023—and strengthened its role as a resource hub for the nonprofit sector.
It also launched new leadership development programs, including an eight-week academy in partnership with Goodwill Industries and Business High Point, which graduated 44 emerging leaders. Additional outreach with students at High Point University, NC A&T, and UNC Greensboro continues to build early interest in nonprofit careers.
“Our community is stronger because of the support, training, and leadership provided by the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. Without it, (our organization) would not have grown into the impactful organization it is today.”
-Guilford Nonprofit Consortium Member
The Consortium also invested in strengthening board leadership, hosting “speed matching” events to connect local professionals with nonprofits seeking talented board and committee members. Thirty-two
board leaders participated in a two-part “Leading Boards” workshop series, and 37 individuals completed the Board Development Academy. Staff conducted more than 500 one-on-one consulting sessions with nonprofit leaders, and new quarterly “Starting a Nonprofit” workshops were introduced to help community members understand what it takes to run a successful nonprofit.
Further efforts included the launch of an Executive Leadership Academy alum network and the development of a new civic engagement strategy for Guilford County.
“Nonprofit work is hard. It demands so much— physically, emotionally, and mentally—from those of us leading these organizations. Many of us are driven by passion for our mission but may not always have the experience or knowledge to ‘run the business’ , and the Consortium team deeply understand these challenges and provide unwavering support to organizations like ours.”
-Guilford Nonprofit Consortium Member Mary Herbenick mherbenick@guilfordnonprofits.org guilfordnonprofits.org
For its annual volunteer Cynthia Doyle Community Service Day, Community Foundation staff partnered with the Kellin Foundation to support construction efforts at Hope Hub—a visionary community wellness center dedicated to delivering trauma-informed care and mental health services to some of Greensboro’s most underserved neighborhoods.
Staff traded their laptops for paintbrushes and power tools, working side by side with the Kellin Foundation volunteers to ready the facility for future use. From painting walls to assembling furniture, this was a hands-on investment in a space that promises to transform lives. The day also served as a heartfelt tribute to the late Cynthia Doyle, a beloved community leader and fierce advocate for service, whose legacy continues to shape the Foundation’s work.
As the Hope Hub nears completion, it stands as a reminder of what’s possible when our city rallies around its most urgent needs. The Community Foundation is proud to walk with the Kellin Foundation in this journey and looks forward to Hope Hub’s doors opening a new chapter of healing and hope in 2025.

We trust and honor individuals through strong communication, respect, and inclusivity.
We show compassion, concern and care for each other. We seek to understand each other‘s needs realizing that our team members are CFGG‘s biggest assets.
We listen to understand and we appreciate the uniqueness of individuals and situations.
We encourage the pursuit of excellence through creativity, curiosity, and a commitment to continued growth. We give honest, reliable commitment to our work, our coworkers and our community we believe this creates a strong, trusting and mutually beneficial community for all.
As the Community Foundation poured itself into advancing our community’s well-being, it also turned inward—to strengthen its operational excellence as a cornerstone of its ten-year strategic plan. This internal focus centered on two key areas: cultivating a values-driven workplace culture and fostering a more inclusive and equitable employee environment.
Just as healthy gardens need intentional care, the foundation’s Management Team and Culture Committee dug into the results of its annual staff survey and other values-specific employee feedback. These insights helped gauge staff engagement, trust, and job satisfaction across the organization. The data revealed a need to cultivate a shared understanding of the foundation’s core values in action. A series of monthly all-staff meetings featured a different staff member presenting one of CFGG’s core values. By reflecting staff members’ personal observations and lived experiences, and by curating resources for deeper learning and professional growth, the Community Foundation took important first steps towards becoming a values-driven organization in 2024.
We share unique talents to drive collaboration towards common goals.
We value honesty and trust through transparency, and by expressing our thoughts and feelings in an effort to be vulnerable and true to our world!
In parallel, the foundation’s board and staff Equity Committees guided the organization’s partnership with The Winters Group, national experts in change management and inclusive workplaces. The Winters Group examined HR data, employee surveys, and internal policies and procedures to assess the foundation’s progress towards building a healthy and equitable employee environment. They supplemented this data with focus groups and interviews of staff, board, and other stakeholders. Their findings will culminate in a detailed report that lays the groundwork for a strategic action plan in 2025 that embeds equity and inclusion into every facet of the foundation’s three strategic pillars: Grow Philanthropy, Make Impactful Investments, and Build an Equitable Community.
