Our Non-profits — Future Fund of Greensboro

Our

Nonprofits

In 2019 Future Fund changed the way it gave out grants to local nonprofits. The grants process can now be described as part incubator, part nonprofit shark tank.

Check out some of the nonprofits we have supported in the past:

FAMILY SUPPORT NETWORK OF CENTRAL CAROLINA

Thanks to a Parent Empowerment grant from the Future Fund FSNCC was able to enhance our programs for families who have children with special needs. When a child is diagnosed with a permanent disability, families must come to terms with this and learn to forge a different path for themselves and their children. Understanding the diagnosis, accessing resources, and dealing with day to day decisions are just a few of the challenge’s parents face. Positive social supports along with access to information and resources are critical during this time as families learn to handle the present and prepare for the future. FSNCC’s mission is to provide support, education and caring connections for families who have a child with special needs or who experience a NICU stay.

Quote from a fsncc parent:

“FSNCC has meant so much to our family over the past 14 years. They took our hands when my son was diagnosed with special needs and we didn’t know where to begin to look for help. FSN stepped in and provided support, direction and so much more over the years.” -The Carrey Family
