To help every young child grow, learn, and thrive.
Alamance Partnership for Children Inc. centers its grantmaking on school success for young children, with repeated seven-figure support going to Alamance-Burlington Schools for that purpose in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern sits alongside a broader portfolio built around early childhood education from birth to age five, family support services, home visiting, child care quality improvement, literacy programs, and NC Pre-K-related work in Alamance County. The foundation’s recent grants show a consistent local funding model. Child care providers, public school partners, and early learning organizations appear across the grant list, including Creative Child Care in Graham, Regional Consolidated Svcs (Head Start) in Asheboro, and Beginning Visions Child Development Center in Gibsonville. Burlington-based recipients also recur, reflecting an emphasis on organizations serving children in the county where the partnership operates. Programmatically, the foundation combines direct service support with capacity building. Its active programs include Parents as Teachers, Quality Child Care, NC Pre-K site selection, and Smart Start funding for services to children birth through age five and their families. Leadership is listed as Cass Wolfe.
