Our Funding Partners

Our work is made possible through a small group of individuals and foundations who believe in investing deeply in nonprofit leaders and the organizations they are building. Their support allows us to walk alongside emerging leaders, strengthen their organizations, and expand the number of partnerships we can support across Charlotte.

Why They Invest

Our Invitation

While many philanthropic efforts concentrate on specific programs, our funders believe long-term results come from strengthening leaders and building organizational capabilities.

Our funders believe lasting impact requires:

  • Visionary nonprofit leaders

  • Strong organizations

  • Long-term partnership

Reemprise gives funding partners a trusted way to make a unique impact in the future of Charlotte by backing visionary leaders and becoming involved in innovative organizations they may not otherwise encounter.

We are building a small circle of philanthropic investors and funding partners who believe in relationship-centered venture philanthropy and the potential of Charlotte’s innovative, nonprofit leaders.

If you share this belief, we would welcome a conversation!

Nonprofits with Ingenuity

Reemprise identifies nonprofit leaders with bold vision and a deep commitment to the historically marginalized communities they serve in Charlotte. While every partnership is unique, the leaders we work with often share several qualities:

  • An innovative and visionary mindset

  • Deep connection to and trust within the community they serve

  • Center relationships at the core of their work

  • Creativity and ingenuity in solving problems

  • A desire to build a strong, sustainable organization

  • Openness to partnership, learning, and growth

We are always interested in meeting leaders whose ideas have the potential to create meaningful, lasting impact in Charlotte.

All of our partnerships begin through conversation and relationship rather than a formal application process. If you believe your work aligns with the Reemprise approach, we would welcome the opportunity to meet and learn more about you and what you are building.
