The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation (ZSR) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has announced grants totaling $19.9 million in support of 146 organizations across the state working toward state-level systemic change.

The grants were awarded through ZSR’s State-Level Systemic Change Strategy portfolio, which supports coalitions, collaboratives, or state, regional, and local organizations that are working to achieve systemic change at the state level. Nearly three-quarters of the grants (73 percent) are for general operating support, and 81 percent are multiyear grants.

Grants were awarded across four priority areas: advancing public education, fostering a healthy and sustainable environment, promoting social and economic justice, and strengthening democracy.
