Investing in community driven solutions to eliminate health inequities.
We believe in a Greensboro where racial equity has been achieved, and systems, policies, and prevailing norms work together to ensure that everyone is healthy.
Working to eliminate health inequities is at the heart of our mission. By centering historically marginalized communities in our grantmaking, investments, strategic partnerships, and advocacy we’ll achieve our vision of a Greensboro where health inequities no longer exist.
Our Focus
Cone Health Foundation invests in community-driven solutions and advocates for systems and policy change at the local and state levels. We work in partnership with community-based organizations, civic and legislative leaders, and the philanthropic community, centering the voices and experiences of those in Greensboro who have been historically marginalized.
What We Fund
As we work towards a Greensboro in which health inequities no longer exist, our grantmaking is focused not just on supporting access to health care, but also working on root causes by addressing the social drivers of health. This shift is happening over time as we learn alongside our community, sharing and interpreting community data and stories together.
The Greensboro Community Report
As part of our ongoing commitment to partner with organizations who work across social drivers, we want to better understand the challenges, opportunities, and best practices happening across sectors. Developed to uncover opportunities to accelerate the work of community-based organizations in Greensboro, the Greensboro Community Report will serve as a foundational tool to guide our work.
Featured Grantee
Thrive Foundation
The Thrive Foundation recently completed several impactful community programs, thanks to funding from our Nurturing Equity Program grant. Through a combination of workshops and social-emotional learning (SEL) initiatives, Thrive focused on supporting children, women, and local organizations to foster mental health, wellness, and confidence.
The Confident Kids pilot program was a standout initiative, offering a 4-week curriculum designed to build children’s self-esteem and social awareness. Each participant received a box of affirmation cards, T-shirts, and SEL lessons. The program concluded with a celebratory reception and parent engagement through surveys, with gift cards provided as incentives.
