Resources
WNC Bridge Foundation’s Community Initiatives, Grants, and Partnerships are at the heart of our mission. Through our programs we connect our communities to a healthier future.
Community Initiatives (CI)
Our Community Initiatives assist underserved individuals in the 18 counties and Qualla Boundary of Western North Carolina. CI’s request form must be completed by an advocate, not an individual.
IMPACT Grants
Our goal for the 2025 IMPACT Grant cycle is to empower nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations with funding to address the critical needs arising from Hurricane Helene and tackle ongoing challenges facing their communities
NOW Grants
We recognize there are many WNC non-profit organizations whose good works have limited options to turn to for quick funding decisions. NOW Grants address this gap in our region. The application process is low-stress and simple, with a quick turnaround time for funding decisions.
Partnerships
WNC Bridge will be deepening the work of our Community Initiatives and Grant programs through Partnerships.
Our Community Initiatives are funded by donations, Grants are funded through WNC Bridge Foundation’s endowment investments, and Partnerships are funded through external grants and WNC Bridge’s endowment investments.
