Milestones:

NCCJ of the Piedmont Triad was founded in 1937 as the “Greensboro Chapter” of a national nonprofit. We became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2005, localizing our program, development, and communication activities. We were honored to be named as Nonprofit of the Year in 2011 by the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium and listed as a top-rated nonprofit in 2012 and 2013 by Great Nonprofits. NCCJ is increasingly recognized as a thought leader and convener in the human relations sector. Last year, we hosted our most financially successful fundraiser, the annual Citation Award Dinner, raising over $445,000 to support our important work. This year, 2017, marks the organization’s 80^th anniversary as well as the 30^th anniversary of our flagship youth program, ANYTOWN.
