Support Fund for Southern
Communities today!
During this season of thanksgiving, we want to express our
gratitude for your consistent support of the Fund for Southern
Communities (FSC). For nearly 35 years, through the support of friends,
FSC has provided a tangible way to give a “voice” to those working for
the common good. Experience has taught us that we all benefit
when communities come together to solve deeply rooted problems. During
a year marked by deep pain and grief, FSC has continued to support a
number of community organizations doing visionary work throughout our
region.
We find hope and encouragement for the future in the
remarkable proliferation of community organizations that remain devoted
to addressing critical social and economic problems with a range of
creative initiatives. Too often, however, smaller community-based
organizations find themselves struggling for scarce resources, when
they are passed over by donors who reserve their support for larger
organizations and institutions. We are proud to fill that void.
In 2015, FSC granted Durham C.A.N. a $5,000 award in support of its
poverty reduction campaign, which includes securing affordable housing,
living wages, job training and access to education for thousands of
local residents in the Triangle area. In addition through our giving circles
and donor advised funds, dozens of non-profit organizations were funded
this year in support of their social justice efforts across the
country. FSC is excited to finalize yet another cycle of grantees this
fall; we received a number of applications in September requesting
support for programs representing Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina.
We are proud to raise money from friends like you and
place it into the hands of those experiencing degrees of inequality and
other social injustices. We are certain that none of this work would be
possible without the support from you and other like-minded community
members. At this
time, we ask you to make an end-of-the year contribution to FSC. If you
have made an annual gift in the past, please strongly consider
increasing your gift if possible to ensure even more grassroots
organizations can be supported through our grant program. Please

today! Thank you so much for your support and have a wonderful
holiday season.
