Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro

**Mission** The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro **inspires giving, maximizes opportunities, and strengthens communities for present and future generations.** **About CFGG** The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro is a local, charitable giving organization with a proven history of making a lasting impact right here in our community. Since our founding in 1983, we have granted over $400 million to hundreds of nonprofits and have received over $440 million in contributions, with total assets approaching $300 million. We like to say that CFGG is by, of, and FOR this community. We have helped establish over 700 charitable funds for individuals, families, businesses, foundations, and nonprofit organizations that address a wide variety of community issues and priorities. It is these diverse relationships and issues we fund that uniquely position us to convene leaders around the most pressing issues in our community. By that, we mean that no one knows Greensboro—or believes in its potential—as we do. CFGG has a proven history of making a real difference in our community. Whether working with a family to maximize their personal philanthropy, helping start a new local nonprofit like Backpack Beginnings or the Guilford Education Alliance, or leading major projects, such as LeBauer Park and the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, our goal is to simply help everyone have an impact in the community we love. We are nimble enough to respond quickly to urgent community needs and crises, too, such as our response to the tornado that ripped through East Greensboro in 2018 and COVID-19 in 2020. From helping you establish your own fund to providing an easy and secure way to donate to existing funds, CFGG ensures your contribution is felt right here in the community. No dream is too big, and no donation is too small for us to rise to the challenge of helping you realize your vision for a better Greensboro.
