Supporting Our Neighborhoods

Donations to Supporting our Neighborhoods go to projects that promote housing, economic development and quality of life in Durham's neighborhoods, including the creation of a community garden in the West End.

Partnering for a Healthier Durham

Donations to Partnering for a Healthier Durham go, in part, to support the Walltown Neighborhood Clinic, where Durham’s uninsured may receive free and low-cost medical care.

Community Care Fund

Donations to the Community Care Fund support grants for a wide variety of local projects that promote health, academic achievement, neighborhood development and more. Last year's grants included one to Innovation4Motivation, a program that provides high-quality enrichment for middle school students during their time away from school.
