Our grantee partners are at the center of our impact in Western North Carolina. With our partners, we build dynamic community relationships and develop a shared understanding of how Dogwood can advance the goal of a healthier Western North Carolina, in which all people can Live, Learn, Earn and Thrive – no exceptions.
To empower our partners beyond providing financial assistance, we offer a host of resources.
Our toolkit helps you understand the best way to talk about your work and our support and provides sample tools that you can download and make your own.
We gather data that already exists from expert sources and commission our own to provide clear baselines and examine trends to inform our entire region.
We are committed to helping organizations across our region to access the connections, knowledge and expertise to strengthen operations and broaden revenue sources.
We underwrite professional, experienced grant writers to help organizations and collaboratives pursue funding from national and state sources.
This monthly webinar series helps organizations of all sizes understand the ins and outs of applying for larger grants from government and private sources.
Explore a host of helpful resources, covering topics such as funding, capacity building, coalition building, board development and more.
Supported by a collaboration of funding organizations, WNC Nonprofit Pathways helps organizations become stronger and more sustainable.
