Making Charlotte Stronger

Wray Ward launched EmpoWWer, our service-grant program created to support Charlotte-area 501(c)(3) community initiatives, in August 2018. Since then, it’s become even more clear that grassroots and well-staffed charities alike have an immeasurable need for the kind of support companies such as Wray Ward can provide to nonprofits working hard to make the world a better place.

 Applications for 2020 EmpoWWer service grants open today. If you think your nonprofit organization could benefit from a partnership with Wray Ward, I encourage you to review our application guidelines and apply by November 30. Meanwhile, take a few minutes to hear from Dianne Chipps Bailey, managing director and national philanthropy strategy executive of philanthropic solutions at Bank of America. Dianne shares our fierce passion for social responsibility and the city we call home, and we’re excited for another year of working with deserving groups to make Charlotte stronger. Read More
