RAF actively pursues our vision of a thriving Rockingham County in partnership with our grantees. We work in three key funding areas: education, health, and community development. We work closely with our grantees to support quality early childhood services, a robust public education system, and prosperous and healthy local communities. We support potentially transformative programs and initiatives that build bridges and create pathways to success for residents of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities.
If your organization is a public charity, governmental unit, or public institution and you share our vision for a progressive Rockingham County that offers opportunities for all residents, we'd love to talk about how we might work together. We only fund projects that benefit residents of Rockingham County and your work must align with one of our focus areas: education, health and wellness, or community development. We do not provide grants to individuals or religious organizations.
We accept online grant applications at any time. Funding decisions for the remainder of the current fiscal year (October 1, 2023 - September 31, 2024) will be made in June and August. Applications should be received by the first day of the month (June, August) in order to be considered by the Board of Directors during the current cycle.
While we accept online funding applications at any time, we are always available to discuss your project with you prior to submission, especially if you are a first-time applicant to the Reidsville Area Foundation. Please call us at 336-634-1669 in order to schedule a grant consultation and to discuss whether your project and your organization's vision and goals align with our vision.
