Community Enrichment & Venture Grant

The Community Enrichment and Venture Grant program began in 1967 to promote the improvement of human services through innovative programs. The name was changed to the Kathleen and Joseph M. Bryan Community Enrichment and Venture Grant Program due to the Bryans' generous support through the years.

These grants - maximum of $15,000 - are awarded for seed money which provides short term support for start up, development and stabilization of new and innovative programs; and system building grants that strengthen the capacity of existing agencies to impact on the human service delivery system. These grants may also be used to redirect agencies to more effectively address areas of need.

Joseph M. Bryan Human Services Grant

The Joseph M. Bryan Human Services Grants are awarded to human service programs in the form of stabilization grants. These funds can be extended to a program that has been operating and demonstrating success in the community for a limited number of years and is in need of strengthening the service offered.

The Joseph M. Bryan Foundation established the grant program in 1996 to recognize Bryan's lifelong commitment to the welfare of the Greensboro community. The purpose of the program is to provide significant funding - maximum of $25,000 - for a limited number of high-impact projects that meet the needs of Greater Greensboro citizens.
