The SECU Foundation Board of Directors recently approved $760,000 in Mission Development Grants (MDGs) to benefit 19 North Carolina non-profits, each receiving $40,000. Funding for this cohort focused on technology education, support against domestic violence, housing and homelessness, child advocacy and youth services, healthcare services and crisis intervention.
“The MDG program has added a layer of depth to our funding strategy that is helping organizations with strategic planning efforts to hopefully achieve more than they thought possible,” said SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell in a press release. “The success of this program speaks to the critical need for this type of funding among non-profits, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be part of their journey and future success.”
