A lot of people in the county don’t believe the Guilford County Board of Commissioners should be picking winners and losers in the non-profit community and handing out tax dollars to churches, fraternities, school booster clubs and lots of others; however, the Democratic majority on the Board of Commissioners wholeheartedly disagrees.
And, this year, the list of beneficiaries of taxpayer dollars is the longest in history, with 83 organizations getting a total of $1,740,000.
For decades, the Guilford County manager would bring a list of his or her recommendations to the commissioners leading up to the budget’s adoption each year and then the commissioners would publicly discuss those recommendations at work sessions and arrive at a final list that would be approved in the budget.
Then, last year, suddenly, there was no list included in the manager’s budget proposal, nor were there any lengthy discussions of the non-profit funding. It’s something the commissioners always get criticized for, since many of those groups that get funding do so because a commissioner sits on the organization’s board or because they are friends with the director of that group.
Last year the list was first trotted out just seconds before the budget was adopted. It was like Moses coming down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments.
For the fiscal 2025-2026 budget adopted last month, there was nothing but a black-box placeholder in the document. That hole was just over $1.7 million with a note that the commissioners would determine the list of funded organizations later.
It may have looked like the commissioners wanted to do it after the spotlight was off the budget, but Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Skip Alston and another commissioner said it was done this way this year because the board was pressed for time.
Commissioner Frankie Jones Jr. defended the board’s funding of the long list of community-based organizations. He said the timing and structure of the allocations were shaped largely by the constraints of this year’s budget.
“This was a tight budget year, and the Board was committed to not raising the tax rate,” Jones said. “We were working on that budget up until the 11th hour, and we didn’t want to rush the CBO [community-based organization] process.”
Jones pushed back on the idea that the funding is used to win budget votes or to curry favor.
In the past it often has been that way but this year it just seemed to be a case of every Democratic commissioner getting funding for the groups they like.
There are two Republican commissioners – Alan Perdue and Pat Tillman – and Perdue voted no on all of the funding while Tillman was not at the Thursday, July 17 meeting.
jones added that the current approach is shifting away from a few large grants toward smaller awards spread among more groups.
“The idea is to avoid having any single organization become overly reliant on county funding,” he said. “Spreading the grants around allows us to have a broader impact across the community.”
Jones acknowledged that the program can be controversial.
“Look, reasonable people can disagree on this,” he said. “But the funding totals about $1.7 million out of an $840 million budget – that’s roughly 0.2 percent. I’m not minimizing that amount, but I think we can have a meaningful impact by partnering with organizations that are doing good work in our community.”
Jones also emphasized the accountability measures in place.
“Every organization, no matter how small the grant, has to submit quarterly reports showing how the funds are being used,” he said. “And once a grant crosses a certain threshold – I believe it’s $100,000 – they’re required to have a full CPA audit.”
He admitted it was a long list this year but reiterated that the board was trying to give smaller amounts to more groups to maximize the positive effects in the community.
“They do a good job making sure the money’s being used as intended,” he said of county staff. “But we can also do more to help the public understand the outcomes and how these groups extend the work of county departments like social services. That kind of transparency helps people see the value.”
A lot of the groups do very good work, but there are a lot on the list that the Rhino Times has never heard of.

I am a believer that non-profits that provide quality services for the public and reduce the burden on County and City services justly receive a small amount of tax funding, to help start-up or expand their service offerings.
BUT, taxpayers should be able to see what each Non-profits does with the funds, % of tax funding versus total funding (to avoid charities that over rely on taxes), and what results the charities achieve with the funds. The list is helpful but many of these don’t even show up online for those wanting to understand the purpose and goals of the charities.
My 2 cents
I completely agree with you…I looked up these Non profits and it will make you sick on what some of them are. I don’t know how it got this bad.
How do taxpayers get on that list of flagrant vote buying by the County Commissars?
Chris. . .this is just another way to compensate the people and organizations who provide funds to elect and reelect their members on the city council and county commissioners. Graft on a large scale and it would be interesting to see which companies and individual people got some of these funds.
These “give-a-ways” have become part of the landscape in Greensboro. . .all aimed at padding the pockets of those who do work behind the scenes to get their elected officials re-elected. See how this works?
I don’t buy that without proof. Most of these organizations are legit non-profits doing the best they can for the less fortunate of the community. I prefer not to make blanket accusations without evidence just because. As I said, I support supporting non-profits with tax dollars for startups and groups trying to expand but just think there should be more disclosure.
Not complicated nor a conspiracy.
Chris,
First, as you’ve pointed out time and time again, you don’t live in the County so your opinion means nothing to anyone.
Second, You’re displaying your ignorance in believing these organizations (not all but without a doubt some, IMO) don’t have ties to Comrade Skip and his merry band.
Third, non-profits, if they are worth supporting, should not be supported by me unless I chose to support them (Wounded Warriors for example). It’s not up to the government, at any level, to decide who does and does not deserve MY tax money. For example, I don’t give a hoot in hell about the Greensboro Business League. Who are they anyway? And what is I Am A Queen that they deserve MY money
But hey, I’ll be me and be glad I’m not you.
Sure its up to the government as these non-profits provide supoort for the community in place of governement services and the tax supoort often gives an uplift to organizations getting started or trying to expand. And yup, those that have contacts with city and county leaders have an easier time and if you want to start a nonprofit to help others give em a call, get an appointment and work the channels. Thats how politics works.
No conspiracy and no crime here.
I disagree with you on this one. I left the County earlier this year. I have family and friends in Guilford County. Friends or not, County or not, I think my opinions are valid. “Everyone has a right to my opinion.”
I have friends and family in Raleigh, too.
I’d say it tilts towards racism since 90-95% of these listed are black owned or operated
Perfect examples 2 YMCA’s that are historically black and 2 YWCA’ s that are historically black and a black fraternity but not a single White Y or fraternity were gifted any taxpayer dollars. Care to explain that Chris or is it too close
Wait, so if black owned = racism. Somebody is digging deep to look past their own bigotry. LOL
they can’t secure adequate funding from people around them with knowledge of their ‘good works’ because there are no ‘good works’ ? so they beg from strangers ‘hey, buddy, can u spare dime’ to buy beer.
You’re right, Joe. In Third World countries we call it corruption.
And our Resident Idiot (“Chris”) demands proof ! What an idiot he is. This is all done with a nod and a wink, with the parties involved in this Quid Pro Quo, well out of the public spotlight.
Nothing can ever be proven.
In the US its called politics. Its only corruption if the person pays the political cash payments in return for access to tax dollars. Of course there is no evidence if that…not that that stops conservstives from spreading false accusations, lies and misinformation.
Happy to clear that up for you.
No, corruption takes many forms, including working to elect particular candidates in return for public funds – which is what this is.
Happy to clear that up for you.
Yet another conservative making accusations they can’t back up with facts or proof.
Using the ‘ol “I thunk it so it mus be troo” approach is classic conservative misinformation tool for spreading hate, division and distrust.
But you be you
You’re right Al, nothing can ever proven especially about this bunch. The money pit museum does not have to open it’s books but if it did I would be willing to bet Skip’s money pit gets a donation (kickback) from a number of these
nonprofits
No Chris you like always missed the point. It’s racist when only black owned or black businesses that serve primarily the black community receive
Taxpayer gifts while White organizations or businesses providing the same services don’t receive the same taxpayer gifts such as YMCA’s
YWCA’s or fraternity’s. So explain that if it’s not too complicated
Rebel’s right. This is prima facie evidence of racial discrimination – for blacks/against whites.
No Chris, I leveled no accusations. I just said that nothing can be proven, so demanding proof is futile and stupid. Which you are.
Try to think more clearly – if you can.
——
And the only hate and division here is in YOUR comments about conservatives. YOU are the hater, buddy.
In 2022, Friends of John Coltrane had a revenue of $1.45 million. In 2023, the nonprofit’s revenue was $594,000. Why does Friends of John Coltrane receive $25,000 from Guilford County taxpayers? A key officer with Friends of John Coltrane is Bruce Davis. Sound familiar? He is a former county commissioner. I would be very interested to know what Friends of John Coltrane spends their revenue on. Guilford County taxpayers have a right to know.
Do all nonprofits listed here file a 990-tax return? If not, why not? Are they bona fide nonprofits? Do the Commissioners care? Our property tax money should not be going to nonprofits.
I have always wondered what this group does. Does anyone know?
They have a website. If you cared you would have quickly checked and seen what they do.
Hmmm…interesting list. Some of them I’d question, and some I’d consider without reservation. But after reading the comments here, it’s the same as usual. But I presume these same commentators support school vouchers? Where nearly half a billion of (as they commented, TAXPAYERS DOLLARS) goes to those “non-profits,” by those who control the NCGA. That those pop-up educational institutions need not answer to the State Board of Education? Just a thought.
Unlike the nonprofits here, school vouchers are part of the NC education system that are available to parents who choose charter schools. Charter schools are part of the education process of young students in NC. The nonprofits here are not governed, not regulated, and have no accountability as to how taxpayer money is spent. Backpack Beginnings had a reported income of $4.32M in 2024; and reported expenses of $3.96M. That leaves a tidy little sum to start 2025. Why did Backpack Beginnings receive $15,000 from Guilford County taxpayers? They were able to raise $4.32M in 2024 from somewhere. Where did the $4.32M in donations come from? Form 990-tax form does not include this information.
Backpack beginnings is a majority run volunteer organization that provides food and basic neccessities on the weekends (when students are not in school). Vouchers keep children fed while in school but not on the weekends. They also distribute food, fresh produce, formula, baby food, comfort items, hygiene products, school supplies, diapers, clothing, shoes, books, baby accessories and baby equipment to families in need. They have a used clothing program that works with social workers to provide families in need. They partner with organizations like Simple Gestures and Second Harvest Food Bank to distribute food to families in need, they opened up a family market to help provide basic needs to their childeren. I wish the county could have given more to this amazing organization.
https://backpackbeginnings.org/about/
Nonprofits should not be given property taxpayer money, regardless. When a nonprofit accepts government money, they are no longer nonprofits because the entity (government) that allowed for the nonprofit is now supporting the nonprofit. Where else did Backpack Beginnings get their $4.32M in 2024? That’s a lot of money.
So .2% of the budget, $1.7 million, it’s implied it is not alot of money. Really? If you are not buying votes, what are you doing? If these organizations come asking for tax payer handouts why not ask why each is not raising the money they want? Seems to be easy money at tax payers expense. You should be reducing the budget, not increasing it. Think before you vote in the next election.
It’s easy to give away someone else’s money. But don’t call it charity, because it isn’t. It’s theft and influence peddling.
DOGE
Jones also emphasized the accountability measures in place.
“Every organization, no matter how small the grant, has to submit quarterly reports showing how the funds are being used,” he said. “And once a grant crosses a certain threshold – I believe it’s $100,000 – they’re required to have a full CPA audit.”
Scott-Are these reports up to date from previous years? Are they available for the taxpayers to review? Could you post some of the larger donation receivers reports in the Rhino?
Audits are only as good and trustworthy as the auditors who do the audits and the rules they follow to do them…….does “Project Homestead” ring a bell?
“Independent auditors from Costello Hill & Co. warned Project Homestead’s leaders for six consecutive years about problematic financial practices, including lavish spending (Caribbean cruises for top leaders) and unauthorized cash advances to employees. Despite issuing yearly warnings to Project Homestead’s board, the auditors did not communicate these risks or spending issues to the city of Greensboro, which continued to fund the nonprofit. According to auditors, this was because legal and ethical constraints prohibited them from contacting anyone other than their client board directly. The lack of external reporting from auditors allowed the issues to persist unchecked until the city of Greensboro conducted its audit, which then revealed the extent of financial mismanagement.”
Over those 6 years, the city above gave Project Homestead in excess of $5 million. As I recall, after the city stepped in and investigations began, what followed was missing computers, missing receipts, and the death of Project Homestead’s founder. Later, the city stepped in with an additional +/- $200,000 to mitigate serious flaws in homes built and sold by Project Homestead over that time.

I once saw the founder of Project Homestead at a Rhino Times Christmas Party back in the day. He was standing with Earl Jones, and MaryKay Abuzaiter was catering the event, before she became a Councilmember.
I never spoke to “The Reverend Michael King” but I noticed that he was profusely festooned with gold jewelry and multiple rings on his fingers, as he wore his vicar’s collar and religious attire. I was immensely put off by such conspicuous narcissism and vanity. It’s not compatible with a humble and holy spirit, in my opinion.
I think he topped himself when all the corruption was uncovered. I always sensed he was a creep, but he got the City of Greensboro to give him millions.
Now that is something we can agree on!
His narcissism and vanity was the least of his sins. Especially with young males.
he committed suicide after allegations of sexual perversion ?
Thank you Markl, for using correct honest language : perversion.
That “saint” was some kind of creep.
what members of our guvmnt ‘epsteined’ with michael king ? i don’t recognize ‘reverend’ as a ‘title’ because i can’t be required to ‘revere’ anyone !
Mostly racist organizations
Prove it. Bet you can’t. Or is this another one of your ‘I thunk it so it mus be troo’ comments?
I suggest that William’s comment is based on many of the “nonprofits” receiving taxpayer money cater to Greensboro’s Black population, maybe exclusively. Therefore, it is legitimate to question the intent of the commissioners. It also questions the intent of the organizations since nonprofits are considered nonprofits because allegedly, they are non-governmental legal entities that operate for a collective, public, or social benefit. I do not believe that the nonprofits that cater to the Black population are engaging in a collective benefit. If you believe otherwise, we will not know for certain unless their books are opened for scrutiny, which will not happen since Skippy operates opaquely. Therefore, it is legitimate to question the intent of the commissioners. If you believe otherwise, we will not know for certain unless their books are opened for scrutiny. Which will not happen since Skippy operates opaquely. And since the nonprofits are non-governmental, why is government money being given to nonprofits? It seems to me when nonprofits receive government money, they are no longer nonprofits.
Just as the money pit museum’s website says that it is a “self sustaining “ museum Never has been nor will it ever be.
****
If it claims it’s self-sustaining, then it must return all public money.
Otherwise it must say it’s funded by taxpayers.
It can’t have it both ways.
If 100k in funding is the base line for the charities needing a professional audit as per Jones then none of those listed here need to concern themselves with it.
Austin, unless it changed since last week that’s what the website says.
Is it just merely a coincidence in the number of non-profits each receiving $45,000 in handouts from our Guilford County Commissioners? These fools can waste and give away your tax money with the best. Why is there a $50,000 threshold requiring non-profits to submit to an audit. All tax funds spent, gifts conveyed, and the receivers of those funds should be auditable! Even if it is only $1!
Remember when Emperor Skippy and his cronies had the opportunity to reduce the tax rate when property values went up, he refused to do so, money hungry as always. And now, in the dark of night, he donates our tax dollars to his pet organizations. Is anyone surprised? I certainly am not.
notice that the irish receive no encouragement ?
Too white !
It’s enough to make you suspect that Democrats are racists….
he said. “And once a grant crosses a certain threshold – I believe it’s $100,000 – they’re required to have a full CPA audit.” Conveniently not one recipient on this list (thank you Scott for accumulating this information) is required to have a full CPA audit.
IMHO next year any organization requesting a grant should be required to offer a full audit along with their application. No audit, no money, simple enough. And don’t tell me a full audit is too expensive for some to provide.
I would love to see the books for the civil rights Museum, how much it actually generates or is that taboo . After all between the city and the county they’ve been given millions. I suspect their prime income is the Guilford County school system not a recipe for success..
Sailor Art , this is from their website:
“The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is a private, self-sustaining 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. “
Doubt the average person will ever get access to their finances.
That is definately taboo.
Oh yeah, definitely taboo.
The first one I researched has not filed any financial data with the IRS, and the business is located in an apartment complex. Their website has nothing to indicate they are an honest nonprofit.
, ???
Name, please.
Speaking of nonprofits, check our NC Governor Stein’s liberal nonprofit push for Dogwood Health Trust. Never heard of Dogwood Health Trust? Now you have. Check this out.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/22/revealed-liberal-nonprofits-push-radical-agenda-of-democrat-nc-governor-josh-stein/
giving taxes collected by COG to a church is a violation of our constitutions’ ‘separation of church & state’.
First off, I do live in the county, and I am familiar with a high percentage of these organizations, many of which I have volunteered and support. I believe that the majority of these organizations are legit non-profits doing the best they can for the less fortunate or the community. But I’m sure that there are some exceptions that need to be explored. The average amount for these 78 grants is $22,300.00. I’m also a part of a Women’s Leadership group that has awarded several of these listed nonprofit’s grants. In addition, a good portion of these non-profits are supporting the arts and parks & recreation, which is very important. What we should be looking at are the organizations that applied for grants that were declined. To all the people casting stones, in your opinion which organizations were left off of this list?
Personally, I would have liked to have seen the Civil Rights Museum on “this” list versus the $200,000 that they were awarded. The County Commissioners have committed to giving the museum $2,000,000.00 over 5 years. That is just my opinion. The Interactive Resource Center has been struggling to receive city funding this year and I’m not sure if the county has awarded them anything. I’m not sure why they are not a part of this list? Our city has struggled with homelessness and lack of mental health resources, and I personally would like to see this prioritized. Animal Control and the city’s Behavioral Health resources have been cut severely this year due to over budgeting by the Sheriff’s office. Every organization that receives funding should be required to have transparency and accountability for fund disbursement.
There are 9 elected County Commissioners, 4 women & 5 men, the serve 4-year terms. I have an extremely high level of respect for Frankie Jones, who is mentioned in this article, he will make a great County Commissioner in the future. In my opinion, whether you are an elected city council member or elected county commissioner you should NOT be serving as an officer on any type of board that receives funding from the organization you serve.

Hey Neighbor!
Nobody’s that interested in your opinion to read “War and Peace” from your bowels (approx 1400 pages).
Got it?
It’s Springtime for Skippie and Company!
GOOD GRIEF when is the next election! This 8 yrs w/city council is not working either. Each Non Profit should be able to be found as such per the NC and IRS qualifying. AND BE PUBLIC RECORD= Can’t the legal attorney supply that on the city website for crying out loud? This is like going back to the 1930’s when politics was done by “the who you know that can hide it” crew. And those who wonder about “Growth here” They aren’t coming as in the past now.
