The Clemmons Community Foundation (CCF) is encouraging grant applications for its Competitive Community Grants, from tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations who wish to implement new or enhance existing programs, services, and solutions in Clemmons, Lewisville, and surrounding areas that thoughtfully and meaningfully transform the communities with access, opportunity, enriched quality of life, and a strengthened sense of community.
A core mission of the CCF is to strengthen the people, places, and partnerships that holds the communities together, build new connections that provide opportunities, and ensure the areas continue to be a community in which all people want to call home.

- Thriving in Education Grants will fund programs and services focused on supporting and improving the educational performance of school-aged children and youth in Clemmons and Lewisville, NC.
- Nonprofit Sustainability Grants will provide funding to ensure essential and proven-effective nonprofit organizations maintain the capacity to deliver necessary programs and services.
