The mission of the Durham Cerebral Palsy Foundation Fund, held at Triangle Community Foundation, is to provide assistance to North Carolina children living with cerebral palsy. Established in 1951, it supports the purchase of necessary equipment and services to enhance the lives of children affected by cerebral palsy.
The Sustainable Communities Impact Area merges the previously separate Environmental Conservation and Community Development programs. It aims to fund organizations working at the intersection of environmental conservation and climate change, particularly those focused on environmental resilience in the spring cycle and economic resilience in the fall cycle. The program prioritizes projects that offer nature-based solutions to climate adaptation, enhance community ability to handle climate stressors, and focus on aiding communities disproportionately affected by climate change. The Environmental Resilience cycle focuses on increasing climate resiliency, especially in low-income communities, and on raising awareness of conservation and climate issues, employing funding strategies that support nature-based adaptation strategies, provide education on conservation and climate issues, and engage in local advocacy efforts. Grants offered are $20,000 for one year, aiming to fund around 13 organizations aligned with these goals.
