2025 Summer Camp Scholarship

Good Friends Charlotte is a women’s organization that supports individuals and families through gap funding to improve lives and inspire hope.

To fulfill our mission, Good Friends Charlotte seeks to send campers, who would otherwise not have the opportunity, to camp. In this spirit, grants will only be provided to an organization’s scholarship/financial aid fund. Grant amounts will vary and typically range between $1,000 and $5,000.

Selected organizations should be able to clearly illustrate the impact the grant will have on its organization and participants. The organization will provide Good Friends Charlotte with the required Impact Report no later than September 19, 2025. This report should provide an overview of the scholarships provided, indicating full or partial scholarships and accompanied by success stories/pictures, and effectively demonstrate achievement of the goals set forth in the application.

Please complete and submit the form linked below no later than March 25, 2025.. All applications must be submitted via the Good Friends Charlotte portal to be considered. Applications will be reviewed by the Good Friends Charlotte Distribution Committee, and selected grantees will be notified in April.
