The Guilford Foundation (TGF) announces the distribution of $117,800 in community impact grants to 42 area nonprofits. These grants, ranging from $1,000 to $8,000, support vital programs and services that significantly benefit Guilford residents. In 2024, TGF experienced a record-breaking year, receiving 52 grant applications—a 38% increase from the previous year. The total funding requested was $379,118, marking an 80% rise from last year's figures. This increase underscores the growing needs within our community and the expanding role of TGF in addressing them. “Historically, we’ve funded between 20 to 30 grants annually, but this year we reached an unprecedented 42 grants,” said Alex Sulpasso, TGF Board and Community Investment Committee Chair. “Our rigorous process of prioritizing focus areas and aligning with our mission ensures that our donors' contributions are directed to nonprofits that uphold our values and create the greatest positive impact on the community.” The Guilford Foundation’s annual grant cycle starts in January. All nonprofits serving the Guilford community are welcome to apply.
