Funded Projects - December

Reidsville Area Foundation awarded grants to eight (8) organizations in our December 2024 grant cycle. Funding priority grants comprise most of the Foundation's giving and must align with our focus areas of education, health and wellness or community development. Through a combination of programmatic, capacity strengthening and general operating funds, we support potentially transformative initiatives and organizations that build bridges and create pathways to success for all residents.
