Faith Action says private donations sustain its programs; leaders highlight fundraising strain
Summary
Maricruz Hernández said Faith Action has relied on private donors and foundations for nearly 30 years and does not receive state or federal funding. Staff described ongoing fundraising pressure to maintain services and pay operational costs.
Faith Action operates primarily on private donations and foundation support and does not take state or federal funds, the organization’s representative told Talk City Greensboro.
"No recibimos dinero estatal o federal por varias razones," Maricruz Hernández said, adding that the pantry and programs have been sustained by donors and church support for decades. She named funders in broad terms (local foundations and community funders) but did not provide an annual budget figure in the interview.
Hernández described fundraising as a persistent workload for executive directors and staff who must continually seek donors; she said that reliance on donations can be stressful but has kept Faith Action active for nearly 30 years. The organization thanked ongoing donors and foundations for their support.
Faith Action encouraged community members to donate through its website and to contact its office for specifics on funding needs and volunteer opportunities.
