We are launching our 2025 Annual Fundraising Campaign!

Our goal of $350,000 will be used to support three core initiatives that impact all programming and activity at the Forge. The campaign has already secured $150,000 in funding commitments, including $75,000 as an economic development partner through the City of Greensboro and $67,752.20 of remaining ARPA funding through Guilford County.

Core initiatives:

• Makerships ($125,000): Providing 200 scholarships for entrepreneurs, jobseekers, students, educators, and veterans, ensuring equitable access to the tools, technology, and training at Forge Greensboro.

• Shop Mentors ($100,000): Growing and supporting our skilled mentors and instructors who volunteer their time to teach essential skills and advanced techniques, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

• Curriculum Expansion ($125,000): Growing the range of adult and youth classes, workshops, and certifications to meet a surge in demand from community members seeking skills for career and personal development.
