Winston Salem Nonprofits and Charities

It was the third project I had the pleasure to support at Bepeace, after Rodim and Siento it was now program aimed at supporting family companies in Salvador and Honduras. I. have quite some experience with this type of companies since Rodim and Siento are family owned and my work experience for several decades has also been focused in multi-generation family enterprises. I was supported by Debora from Bepeace, she did an extraordinary job, organizing, commenting, explaining, clarifying and I would like to thank her from my heart. She managed the infrastructure prepared by Bepeace to help us arrive at learning experiences not only for the four leaders who participated but also for me. Once again I am happy to have participated and hope to have contributed positively to the participants.

I have volunteered and donate also. I have been involved with various non-profits, including serving in boards, volunteering and paid staff. So I am picky about ethics, transparency, policies and sustainability. I would not be donating to Red Feather unless I trusted in how they spend and allocate money and the work. They balance great passion with the actual dirty work it takes to run such a sanctuary. I have seen them grow and learn when new policies or procedures need to be in place to handle the new growth. Additionally, they care about the growth and connection of their volunteers. I know that my money and time is well spent with Red Feather.

Mr. Bazemore and his staff at Experiment in Self-Reliance are truly dedicated to supporting the community and helping people survive and thrive through the tough conditions of poverty. I support their mission and I am grateful for their help in being a voice for people with out one.

Shereen catered our family spring birthday gathering in March. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the food and fellowship. It was a joy introducing her to our family. I would recommend her food and catering to anyone. <br><br>Sam Matthews

Through my network, I met the Sherry, their Executive Director. We had an exchange via LinkedIn, and discussed the organizations' perspective. Food insecurity is real and scary for millions of people in America (far more than I can comprehend). Nutrition is crucial all throughout life, and malnutrition has long-term odd-ball impact. For Our Common Good is doing great outreach; I'm looking forward to seeing their work evolve.

I’m sorry to deliver such disappointing news. Please pray hard and think twice about donating to this Ronald McDonald house. It needs to be investigated on their so called requirements to assist those in need. My granddaughter who is 7 years old was in a house for a few days ago. She’s currently still in the hospital on Christmas Day!! I reached out to them for assistance and was turned down!! How can anyone have the nerve to turn anyone away who is in need but most of all using donations!! The money is not even theirs to decide!! I’m so hurt and sad that this happened but I want everyone to be aware of this organization who claims to help but does do at their own discretion!! I call it discrimination!! It’s sad but true!!

I would like to Volunteer----please someone get back to me -- thank you very much----email is ---kcpaws@gmail.com--I do not see any place I can fill out and apply...

WAA has given me a way to express my passion for activism!!

Center for Smart Financial Choices has transformed our students lives as it pertains to money. Students have gained skills preparing them for the real world of budgeting and spending money. They realize that making money doesn't mean recklessly spending. Wise counsel is critical as decisions around money is made. The wise conusel of CFSFC respresentatives helped our students understand how money works and why it is essential to know when, why, and how to spend the money you make. Thank you CFSFC for your continued work of preparing our students for a success life.

The Legacy Foundation for Women is a philanthropic women's foundation that empowers, celebrates, and invests in the lives of women and girls of color through scholarships and education, award recognition, health development projects, humanitarian efforts, and mentor programs. <br><br>

If I could give this foundation a ZERO star I would! Don't even bother wasting your time. They have in their history that they started with only $1000.00 and have now grown to $500,000,000.00! You know how they grew? They boasted and boasted that they would help members in the Triad area. Bullocks! They KEEP the money and "keep growing." They don't REALLY grant grants. They have a facade that they do. They give grants to people with established revenues. What about organizations that could use some help, as they once did? They faked their way into being in top 40 foundations in the U.S. ...disappointed! Donors, stop donating and donate to organizations that are really trying to make a difference.

I have not personally worked with them, but have witnessed them essentially help rebuild an entire community after natural disasters. To watch under-insured individuals and families have their homes rebuilt for what the families could pay is amazing. Everyone I know is satisfied with the home they were built by this organization.

This organization works endlessly to support youth and young adults in recognizing and achieving their potential as it also works to aid the leadership skills they have. Wonderful organization

This organization is really and truly a group who's actions are honestly heartfelt towards America's Veterans and their family's needs. You'd be hard pressed to find a civilian woman more involved and dedicated on many levels honoring Veterans of all military services than Ms Ciat Shabazz who is the executive director of HARRY. This is the most tenacious non-profit Veterans organization pressing forward for REAL comprehensive change for Veterans, that I've ever seen and I've seen quite a few.

FHS celebrates its 75th birthday in 2016. I have adopted 4 pets through FHS during the last 15 years, and had to say goodbye to two of them this year. <br><br>FHS has undergone about 4 transitions over their 75 years. The 2nd most significant one was when they opened their first no-kill facility in a tiny 1800 square foot building on a postage stamp of land on Miller Street in the late 80's. <br><br>Between 2005 - 2010, its second big transition began. Professional leadership was recruited to the Board, and experienced leadership was recruited to the Executive Director position. IN addition, a prominent physician and his wife provided significant financial support, and several signfiicant fundraising efforts (Art Unleashed and the Annual Furrball Gala) provided annual working capital and a much broader base of public support. They also became much more active with outreach programs: partnering with the county jail rehabilitating both prisoners and dogs with a program called "new leash on life". They distribute pet food to needy families in conjunction with Senior Services' "meals on wheels" programs. They have an active spay / neuter program where they underwrite spay / neutering for needy families.<br><br>The 2nd transition I referenced that started in the mid 2000's culminated in a successful capital campaign that raised $3.8 million in order to purchase and renovate a new facility. They bought a former seafood restaurant on Country Club road and are renovating it inside and out. This will finally give them parking spaces they've never had, room for dogs to exercise and play outside, acceptable office space for staff and collaborative meeting space to be used in conjunction with other partner non-profits.<br><br>The FHS is rocking.

I have been familiar with Kybele since October 2007 when I met Dr. Medge Owen through a colleague. I have had the opportunity to assist the organization and to meet many of the physicians and volunteers who travel to program countries. Dr. Owen runs her organization with efficiency and utilizes every precious dollar to the best of her ability. I have seen Kybele steadily grow over the years with increased donors, volunteers, grant awards, published research, and international recognition. This is a small organization that works on the international stage and is making an impact on the lives of women and children in several developing countries. I am proud to be a Kybele donor.

The group of volunteers and professionals at ACC are top notch. I haven't found higher quality care in the area of counseling in my 30 years of seeking help. I have Bipolar disorder which is a daily battle. A large part in thanks to members of this group, I became level and have remained so for over 16 years now. The Lord certainly works through them and daily blesses them for their efforts.

Southside United Health Center is just what the community needs! It is in a accessible location (the city bus makes stops within walking distance). They provide good customer service and I love the continuum of care. Clients can expect to see the same doctor with every visit which in turn helps to build a relationship of trust and respect amongst patient and provider. I would definitely recommend SUHC to my family and friends

I came out of prison and Angel House was there for me. It was a place I could lay every thing down. they have a church and provide many of the services needed for recovery!! Thank you for that! <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>http://www.raisemycreditrepair.com

The Shepherd's Center of Greater Winston-Salem is truly a wonderful orginazation that reaches out to many of our seniors in need. They serve Seniors in our community with Minor Home Repairs, Medical Transportation, Grocery Shopping, and in home respite visitation. They provide many services to our seniors through our Senior Center Programs, The Congergationl Nursing program reaches out to many of our community congregations to provide services to people in need. <br>This is truly a great orginazation I have had the privilege to volunteer with for ten plus years.

SG Atkins CDC is actively engaged in changing the community through entrepreneurship, education, community development and real estate development. The Enterprise Center is a business incubator that offers free business consultation, workshops etc. SG Atkins CDC is also actively involved in a community garden initiative and has over 10 community plots. Real estate development in the poorest tracts of Winston-Salem to create mixed neighborhood housing will change the face of the community.

This is an outstanding ministry that serves approximately 1200 inmates at the Forsyth County Jail, Youth Detention Center and the Forsyth Correctional Center (Cherry St. Prison) as well as the officers who serve at these facilities. The ministry provides chaplaincy services 24-7 and coordinates over 800 volunteers who provide Bible studies, tutoring, re-entry training and family support services. It is supported by a broad base of individuals, churches and businesses throughout Forsyth County, and has won non-profit excellence awards from BCBSNC and the Joel Weston Foundation. I began volunteering at Cherry St. about 10 years ago, helping inmates with their GED studies. I also serve as a sponsor, taking qualified inmates out on short passes to church and to reentry preparation meetings. At the Jail, I have provided music leadership for Sunday church services. I have seen hearts and lives changed with a positive impact on families and the community. As the TV ad says, the return on investment is "priceless"!

Sceptor Pain Foundation is dedicated to research in pain management. The Foundation is embarking on a major research project that is focused on our military personnel injured on active duty. We will be enrolling active military and veterans in the protocol. We hope to find solutions to a long-term pain management issue that many of our wounded service men and women experience providing a better quality of life for them and their families.
