The Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation views itself as an investor in the community and is interested in creating the highest possible levels of community gain, focused on improving the lives of Mecklenburg County citizens. Specific investment and results areas are outlined below and should be reflected in grant applications.



Family Formation


Access to reproductive health information and care plays an important role in the stability of a family. The Foundation seeks proposals that will:


  • Ensure young people have the necessary information about and resources for reproductive health care so they can plan for pregnancy when they are ready to raise a child.

  • Improve birth outcomes of all children and their mothers.

Financial SecurityA lack of sufficient income to afford necessities can be destabilizing and stressful for families. The Foundation seeks proposals that will help more families get on and stay on a path to living-wage income and asset building.

Innovative Housing Solutions Families challenged to find and keep affordable housing are often forced to move to challenging environments for their children. The Foundation seeks proposals that will stabilize working families, prevent family homelessness, and minimize disruption to children from housing instability.

Parenting Education, Family Support, and Engagement Multiple factors impact family stability and can compound stressful living environments for families. The Foundation seeks proposals that will:

  • Connect families to community resources and support.

  • Develop efforts focused on addressing mental health issues and/or reducing the mental health impacts of living in low-opportunity environments.

  • Support a community where families are not destabilized by interactions with the criminal justice system. 

To apply – or for complete criteria – please visit the Online Grants Center and select "Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation" in the Grant Program Name field.
