The Greensboro Association (GA), whose mission is to advance initiatives that connect and enhance the greater Greensboro community, protect the lakes and environment, and support a vibrant local economy, raises money each year through its membership for area organizations, non-profits, and community-groups that are working on projects that directly impact the greater Greensboro community.
“Supporting and strengthening our local community continues to be at the heart of what the Greensboro Association is all about,” said Naomi Ranz-Schleifer, president of the GA. “We can see the impacts these grants have throughout our local community through the programs, education, food security, and environmental protection work these local organizations, groups and nonprofits are able to provide.”
“We are deeply grateful to our members whose generous support makes it possible for us to continue investing in the diverse needs of our community, from food security initiatives that ensure our neighbors have access to healthy food, to environmental sustainability efforts that protect the natural resources that enhance the greater Greensboro Community. These grants reflect the collective commitment of our members to give back, and we couldn’t do it without them,” said Julie Porazzo, co-chair of the grants committee.
