Greensboro ABC offers annual grants benefitting community programs dedicated to education, prevention, treatment and/or research of alcohol and/or substance abuse.

The City of Greensboro ABC Board is pleased to announce that in FY2024, it will distribute $200,000 in grants for substance abuse prevention, education, treatment, and/or research. The grant recipients are:

Alcohol and Drug Services of Guilford, Inc. ($100,000)

Kellin Foundation ($35,000)

Malachi House II ($35,000)

UNCG Excellence Foundation, Inc. ($15,000)

Since 1952, The City of Greensboro ABC Board has directed part of its profits back to the community through a statutory distribution under Alcohol Education.  By state law, once funds are allocated to operate the system, the ABC Board must return at least seven percent (7%) of profits from the sale of distilled spirits to qualified nonprofit, tax-exempt, charitable organizations which are exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or to governmental entities such as the State of North Carolina and its agencies, municipal corporations, and political subdivisions of the State that provide substance abuse prevention, education, treatment, and/or research for the benefit of Guilford County citizens.

For FY2024, the City of Greensboro ABC Board looked to broaden the scope of giving to reach more nonprofits doing innovative and meaningful work in the community by developing its own grant-making program. 

There is considerable value in partnering with these nonprofit organizations who are committed to preventing or reducing alcohol and/or substance abuse in our community.
