Our Mission

Organizing People and Building Power:

Serving as a consistent and persistent partner with individuals, groups, and institutions for the betterment of 100% of Rockingham County and beyond.

Building genuine relationships

Building genuine relationships at a pace that fosters trust, while creating space for marginalized voices and discouraging mainstream partners from using our organization as a substitute for direct engagement with vulnerable communities.

Mobilizing for Equity & Inclusion

Mobilizing individuals, associations, and institutions as we model equitable and inclusive practices for mainstream organization oartners and encourage the use of inclusive processes that account for power imbalances.

Capacity building

Capacity building, dedicated primarily to organizations that have leadership from historically disadvantaged oackgrounds or focus on traditionally marginalized communities (e.g., Black American, Latine, rural, low wealth).

Operating in Rockingham County since 2014

Stories That Shape Our Community

A significant amount of qualitative data and curated stories about our community via the Grown Folk's Business Podcast, a platform created in 2021 to amplify the voices and experiences of individuals, groups, and institutions within Rockingham County and beyond.

Serving as a consistent and persistent partner with individuals, groups, and institutions for the betterment of 100% of Rockingham County and beyond.

We are a small team, with many partners that believe if we operate in the roles of witness, convener, coach, facilitator, connector, documenter, and consensus-builder, we will help create a Rockingham County and surrounding community that has access to all the resources available that support and protect wealth and health.

We do alot, but it can be summarized with 3 strategies: We honor community wisdom and grow what people are already doing well.

 

We create and protect spaces where residents and organizations come together to turn ideas into action and opportunity.

 

We invest in the growth of leaders, primarily those serving communities that have been historically under-resourced, often rooted in Black, Latino/a/x, identities, as well as residents in rural, and low-wealth areas.

Most of our work is centered in Reidsville, NC, but we serve all of Rockingham County, NC.

Many small nonprofits are delivering high impact despite operating on very thin financial margins, us included.

 

Our work takes a village, and needs monetary support from our grant partners and donors, but we also know we need thought partnership, ideas, and volunteers.

 

We always love to get connected to professional and philanthropic networks . If you are interested in serving on our board or advisory commitees, we welcome you to send an email to info@nc-100.org
