Our primary objective is to invest in clearly-defined, innovative grants that further our mission of improving the health and well-being of North Carolinians. We embrace an outcomes approach to grantmaking, and are committed to proactively supporting organizations and programs capable of attaining measurable results.

Grantmaking is centered on three primary focus areas, which, through specifically defined goals and results sought, are designed to maximize impact on communities across the state.

• Health of Vulnerable Populations
• Healthy Active Communities
• Community Impact through Nonprofit Excellence

While the basic guidelines are the same, the Health of Vulnerable Populations and Healthy Active Communities focus areas each have their own application process and grant cycle. Community Impact through Nonprofit Excellence is unique in that it is comprised of three Foundation Signature Programs, and does not currently include a competitive grant process.

For more specific grants information and opportunities, please refer to each individual focus area.
