GreerWalker is thrilled to announce the inaugural recipients of the GreerWalker Community Impact Fund grant program. After an extraordinary response and careful deliberation, three standout organizations have been chosen for their commitment to advancing education and economic mobility in the Charlotte and Greenville metro areas.

The selected organizations are Project Host, MeckEd, and Families Forward Charlotte – each demonstrating innovative programs and a deep commitment to improving the communities they serve.

  • Project Host uses food as a platform to nourish the hungry and train the unemployed and underemployed in Greenville, paving the way for economic independence.
  • MeckEd, a Charlotte-based advocacy group, is dedicated to ensuring every student in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region has access to excellent public education.
  • Families Forward Charlotte is committed to easing the burden of poverty on children and their families in the Charlotte area.

 

“We were humbled by the breadth and depth of the applications we received,” said David Jones, Partner and GreerWalker Gives Committee Leader. “Each of the organizations we chose demonstrated a strong alignment with our mission to foster economic mobility and education in our communities. We’re confident that our funding will make a profound and lasting impact.”

The GreerWalker Community Impact Fund was established to enhance education, foster economic mobility, and empower individuals and families to rise above their circumstances and build sustainable futures in the communities in which we live and work. The grant program is one of the ways the firm is investing in the future of the Charlotte and Greenville metro areas.

“We are excited to partner with these exceptional organizations and look forward to seeing their impact on our communities,” added Jones. “This is just the beginning of our long-term commitment to improving education and economic mobility in the regions we serve.”

The GreerWalker Community Impact Fund will continue to seek out and support organizations that align with its mission.
