United Way of Greater Greensboro Opens 2015 Grant Opportunities up to $30,000 for Innovative New, Existing Programs to Create Positive Community Impact
Greensboro, NC – May 15, 2014 – (RealEstateRama) — United Way of Greater Greensboro is pleased to offer two grant opportunities for new and existing programs that create positive community impact. These grants are focused on supporting the education and success of children and youth, financial stability and independence of families and individuals, and healthy lives for all in our community. These grants are available due to the generosity of the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation.
“United Way is building a stronger Greater Greensboro,” says Michelle Gethers-Clark, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Greensboro. “When we identify new community partners with the potential to make meaningful, positive change in the lives of those in need, that’s work we want to support. That’s work our donors want to support.”
United Way of Greater Greensboro Kathleen and Joseph M. Bryan Community Enrichment and Venture Grant (CEVG)
CEVG began in 1967 to promote the improvement of human service delivery through innovative programs. The name was changed to the Kathleen and Joseph M. Bryan Community Enrichment and Venture Grant Program to acknowledge the Bryans’ generous support through the years.
CEVG awards up to $15,000 and can be used for the following purposes:
1. Seed Money to provide short-term support for start up, development and stabilization of new and innovative programs that provide a service currently unavailable in the Greater Greensboro community. (A program operating for less than two years is considered “new.”)
2. System building grants that strengthen the capacity of existing agencies to deliver a particular program;
3. Support to redirect agencies to more effectively address areas of need.

These funds can be extended to a program that has been operating and demonstrating success in the community for a limited number of years and is in need of strengthening the service offered and the outcomes achieved.
