The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation has announced the recipients of its Fall 2018 grant awards.
Trustees voted to approve 164 grants totaling $27.2 million to organizations across North Carolina. This amount includes multi-year grants for some grantees. (In May 2019, Trustees awarded five State-Level Systemic Change grants totaling more than $1 million during its Spring cycle, which was by invitation.)
Organizations awarded grants in the Fall 2018 cycle are listed below in alphabetical order. The next open cycle for State-Level Systemic Change grants will begin in later this year.
