Greensboro ABC Community Grants
Greensboro ABC offers annual grants benefitting community programs dedicated to education, prevention, treatment and/or research of alcohol and/or substance abuse.
Alcohol Education Grant Program
Since 1952,
The City of Greensboro ABC Board has donated a portion of profits back to the community to fund substance abuse education, prevention, treatment, and research.
7%
of all Greensboro ABC profits must be donated to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations, per state law.
In 2024,
the 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.
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.
