Building Bridges With the Community
Special Funding Initiatives

The Moses Cone-Wesley Long Community Health Foundation consistently seeks to build bridges and partnerships among agencies and indeed among other community funding organizations.  It takes everyone to make an impact.  Below are profiled two collaborative projects, essential to the emotional and physical well-being of our community.

Building Stronger Neighborhoods Collaborative
The Building Stronger Neighborhoods Collaborative connects with neighborhoods through grants and activities that mobilize neighborhood assets to enhance quality of life. It is a grants and technical assistance program for neighborhoods with limited resources in greater Greensboro. The program is supported by a collaborative of local foundations, including the Moses Cone-Wesley Long Community Health Foundation, seeking to sustain neighborhoods’ self-development as healthy building blocks of the community. The program is administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro. Please contact Tara Sandercock, Vice President for Programs at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, for more information on the BSN program.

The Foundation provides operating support for the Guilford Community AIDS Partnership (GCAP) through a small grants program designed specifically for HIV/AIDS related initiatives. GCAP's mission is to advocate for effective laws and policies affecting people with HIV/AIDS, create public awareness of the disease, and promote programming that ensures effective prevention of HIV infection and accessible, high quality care for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Bridge-Builder

It is easy to be self-absorbed when life is chaotic, deadlines loom, and there is always much to be done.  Many non-profits become insular and isolated—small islands in a sea of change.  The Foundation has built bridges to bring these small islands together, because it realizes that organizations are the most effective when they understand their mission in the context of the whole community.
