About Guilford Green

Our Mission...

It is the mission of the organization to promote diversity and inclusiveness throughout the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the greater Piedmont community by raising and distributing funds for LGBT organizations and programs and growing an endowment to sustain funding for these purposes. The Guilford Green Foundation seeks to courageously unite community by fostering organizations which advance LGBT persons and issues. Since its creation in 1996, GGF has provided over $500,000 in funding to various non-profit agencies in Guilford, Alamance, Randolph, Rockingham and Davidson Counties.

Message from Co-Chairs Ivan Canada & Cile Johnson

Welcome to the Guilford Green Foundation! Our organization has a long tradition of serving the LGBT community and has experienced an extraordinary year thanks to our loyal supporters and public at large. This year alone we have seen our endowment grow to more than $350,000 enabling us to grant more than $70,000 back to the community. This is important as we try to make our mission of ‘uniting community’ come to life!

We hope that you will join us in uniting community through our many events and fundraisers throughout the year as well as share in our enthusiasm regarding the great progress GGF and Greensboro is experiencing. We invite each of you to become an agent for change and make a difference by joining us as we unite community!
