Project Title: General Operation Expense
Project Description:

Celeste Burgess One Foundation (CB1) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to turning grief into purpose by uplifting families who have experienced loss, providing youth mentorship, financial literacy education, and community outreach programs. Through our mission, we aim to strengthen underserved communities, promote healing, and build resilience for individuals and families in need.

This general operating support will enable CB1 to maintain and expand our core programs, cover essential administrative costs, and ensure our dedicated team and volunteers have the resources necessary to deliver high-impact services year-round. Funds will help support our youth mentorship initiatives that guide young people toward brighter futures, our financial literacy workshops that equip families with tools for financial stability, and our signature community events such as the annual Back-to-School Giveaway and holiday drives that directly serve hundreds of individuals each year.

General operating funding is vital to sustaining our day-to-day operations, including rent, utilities, staff compensation, and program materials. With the Hermanowski Foundation’s support, CB1 will continue providing safe spaces for healing, growth, and education, ensuring that families and youth have access to compassionate support systems when they need it most.

By investing in CB1’s capacity, the Hermanowski Foundation will help us build long-term sustainability and deepen our impact across Winston-Salem and surrounding areas. Together, we can uplift more families, empower more youth, and turn more stories of loss into legacies of hope and community strength.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Hermanowski Foundation to carry forward this meaningful work.
