ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Gifts made to the Greatest Needs Fund will be utilized by WNC Bridge Foundation, with 100% of every dollar going directly to expanding local capacity to address the pandemic.
“WNC Bridge Foundation is committed to the people and non-profits of WNC who may be facing unexpected hardships related to COVID-19,” said Scott Buchanan, President & CEO of WNC Bridge Foundation. “We want to continue our mission of being a catalyst for positive change throughout the 18 counties of WNC and see the importance the WNC Greatest Needs Fund will play in assisting the important work of our local non-profits.”
This Fund will provide flexible resources to organizations with deep roots in communities and who have experience addressing basic needs and filling public health gaps. The goal is to help regional front-line nonprofit organizations by quickly meeting increasing demands for help. Grant funds will be awarded on a rolling basis, as fundraising continues throughout the outbreak and recovery phases of the pandemic.
