Another Amazing Year for SEED20!
Social Venture Partners Charlotte is thrilled to celebrate the SEED20 Class of 2024! On Tuesday, March 26, ten leaders from innovative, local nonprofits graced the stage, captivating us with their inspiring narratives of how they are transforming the greater Charlotte area for the better. Central Piedmont Community College’s New Theater was filled with an electrifying atmosphere as supporters gathered to champion our nonprofit community. We distributed awards totaling over $41,000! With Wells Fargo’s generous match, our fundraising total has surpassed $60,000 (a new SEED20 record!) and continues to grow. The Wells Fargo $20,000 matching grant resulted in $2,000 going to each of the ten nonprofit organizations.
