Nonprofit organizations serving the Tri-Counties area are eligible for funding from the Elkin Funds of The Winston-Salem Foundation. Grants for capital campaigns or major equipment purposes will be a low priority of the Elkin Advisory Committee, and requests for capital and equipment grants will be discouraged. Foundation funds will not be granted to supplant tax or government funds for projects or institutions that would ordinarily receive public funding support. The Advisory Committee encourages collaborative projects that bring together organizations with similar missions.
