The Rosendin Foundation, a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to positively impacting communities and empowering individuals, announces the distribution of $140,000 in grants to 18 North Carolina nonprofits during a ceremony at Rosendin’s Huntersville office. The grants support organizations that advance The Foundation’s three pillars of community support, workforce development and environmental stewardship.
The funding provides critical lifelines to organizations serving North Carolina communities hit hard by rising costs and increased demand. The Rosendin Foundation grants will support veterans services, healthcare access, family support programs, food security initiatives, and workforce development at a time when these organizations face mounting pressure to serve more people with fewer resources.
“The Rosendin Foundation gets hundreds of grant applications from around the country, and this year we are seeing a greater need than ever before from nonprofits that support emotional, occupational, and nutritional health,” said Chandra Stewart, Executive Director of The Rosendin Foundation. “Each organization we’re supporting today makes a real difference in people’s lives, from helping veterans transition to civilian careers to providing safe havens for families escaping domestic violence. We’re honored to help them continue their vital work during a time when North Carolina families need these services more than ever.”
Haven Inc. received the largest grant of $20,000 for their domestic violence prevention and survivor support services. Veterans Bridge Home secured $19,000 to help veterans transition to civilian life and careers through housing assistance and job training programs.
Three organizations received grants of $10,000 each to expand their community impact. Carolina Breast Friends provides support for breast cancer patients and survivors. Crittenton serves pregnant and parenting teens through education and life skills programs. Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina addresses food insecurity throughout the Charlotte region. In addition, Matthews Free Medical Clinic received $9,000 to provide healthcare services for uninsured residents.
The Rosendin Foundation also granted $8,000 to She Built This City to support women in construction and trades. Ten organizations each received $5,000 grants: Brave Step Inc., Classroom Central Inc., Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region, Hope Haven Inc., KinderMourn Inc., Lions Services Inc., Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte, Safe Alliance Inc., Shining Hope Farms, and Special Olympics North Carolina Inc. Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont received $4,000 for workforce development programs.
Since 2020, The Rosendin Foundation has distributed more than $6.7 million to nearly 500 nonprofits nationwide. This charitable giving strategy grows alongside Rosendin’s business expansion, creating stronger connections between the company and communities where employees live and work.
