Welcome to Dogwood’s Grants Database. Here you’ll find timely information on grantees, their headquarters’ locations and grant amounts across Dogwood’s service region. To sort the data by items such as headquarters, areas served or grant strategic priority area, please use the filters provided.
Our current strategic priority areas are housing, education, economic opportunity (including broadband), health & wellness (including behavioral health and substance use disorder), policy and advocacy and community equity (including the leverage fund). However, you may also see grants categorized under prior, currently inactive strategic priority areas.
Please note that you may see “Other” noted for an organization’s headquarter’s location. This means that the organization is located outside of the 18 counties and the Qualla Boundary but that the organization serves counties in WNC. Areas served are self-reported by grantee organizations.Â
