The Anson County Partnership for Children's mission is to help make Anson County a better place to be a child and to raise a child. The Partnership develops collaborative strategies to meet the needs of children and families in Anson County, providing services focused on raising the quality of early care and education, supporting families, advancing child health, and expanding literacy.
Among the most distinctive recent grants are two 2024 awards to Ucca Inc - Headstart in Monroe for NC Pre-K, at $409,133 and $292,740. That pattern points to a funder focused on early childhood access rather than broad, general-purpose philanthropy. Anson County Partnership for Children uses its grantmaking to support preschool enrollment, child care quality, family literacy, and basic needs for young children and caregivers in Anson County. The organization’s work centers on children prenatal through age 5, parents and caregivers, and local child care providers and early childhood educators. In 2024, the partnership also supported First United Methodist Church in Wadesboro with two NC Pre-K awards of $146,255 and $124,690, showing repeated investment in local early education infrastructure. Other recent grants went to child care providers serving the county, reinforcing a place-based approach built around access to early learning and services for families with young children. Caroline Goins leads the organization, which reported $1,227,158 in annual grants and $660,296 in assets on its latest filing.
Early childhood education is a core emphasis. The partnership awarded $409,133 to Ucca Inc - Headstart in Monroe and $146,255 to First United Methodist Church in Wadesboro, both marked NC Pre-K, underscoring support for early education seats and enrollment pathways. Child care quality and workforce development also appear in its programming. Through T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood Scholarships, the partnership refers educators to a statewide scholarship program tied to tuition, books, travel, and bonus payments. For family literacy, the organization backs Raising A Reader, which provides weekly book bags, family workshops, and library connections for child care sites, and it locally supports Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for children from birth to age 5. Basic-needs support shows up through monthly diaper distributions with Second Harvest Food Bank.
Typical grants cluster at a fairly high level for a local funder: the 25th percentile is $89,649, the median is $124,690, and the 75th percentile is $219,498. The recent grants table shows repeated awards in the same year to the same NC Pre-K partners, which suggests programmatic, recurring support rather than isolated one-off checks. The organization is a place-based funder and program administrator, not an individual-giving or PRI funder. Where application pathways are described, they are direct and program-specific: some efforts use referrals or enrollment support, while T.E.A.C.H. accepts unsolicited educator inquiries through the partnership.
