We support organizations and efforts in Wake County and across North Carolina in several ways, including:
When an opportunity opens, this page will include the funding range, eligibility, timeline, application steps, decision-making process, and a contact person for questions.
We consider work based in Wake County as well as broader efforts across North Carolina that strengthen the systems, policies, movements, and conditions shaping children’s lives. We look beyond organizational size, formal infrastructure, and professional grant-writing capacity.
We look for organizations and efforts that:
Center racial equity and justice in their work, leadership, and organizational practices.
Support children’s social-emotional health or address the systems and conditions that shape it.
Work in Wake County or advance broader change across North Carolina that benefits children and families in Wake County.
