Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Racial Equity in North Carolina
The Grant Program Mentoring for Racial Equity, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to address the persistent racial disparities in North Carolina. To achieve this goal, the program focuses on three priority outcomes: strengthening organizational capacity, promoting equitable policies and practices, and fostering inclusive community development. These outcomes are critical in North Carolina, where the state's diverse economy, geography, and demographics present unique challenges and opportunities.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce, in partnership with regional organizations, has identified the need to build the capacity of minority-led organizations to drive economic growth and social justice. Strengthening organizational capacity is essential to address the systemic barriers that hinder the progress of underrepresented communities. For instance, a study by the North Carolina Justice Center found that minority-owned businesses face significant barriers in accessing capital, with a disproportionate number of these businesses located in economically distressed areas.
Promoting equitable policies and practices is another critical outcome for this grant program. The North Carolina General Assembly has taken steps to address racial disparities through legislation, such as the North Carolina Racial and Ethnic Disparities Task Force. However, more work is needed to ensure that policies and practices at the local level are equitable and just. For example, a report by the UNC School of Government highlighted the need for more inclusive zoning policies to address the concentration of poverty in certain neighborhoods.
Fostering inclusive community development is also a key priority outcome for this grant program. North Carolina's diverse geography, from the coastal regions to the mountain counties, presents opportunities for community development initiatives that are tailored to the specific needs of each region. For example, the North Carolina Rural Center has worked to promote economic development in rural areas, where poverty rates are often higher than in urban areas. By supporting initiatives that promote inclusive community development, this grant program can help to address the unique challenges faced by rural and urban communities alike.
In North Carolina, the Research Triangle region is a hub for economic growth, with major research institutions and technology companies driving innovation. However, this growth has also led to concerns about gentrification and displacement of long-time residents. The grant program's focus on inclusive community development can help to ensure that the benefits of growth are shared equitably among all residents.
To achieve these priority outcomes, grant recipients will be expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the racial equity issues in North Carolina and a commitment to addressing them. The grant program will provide funding of $7,500 to support initiatives that promote racial equity and equality.
Measuring Success in North Carolina
The success of the Grant Program Mentoring for Racial Equity will be measured by the progress made towards the three priority outcomes. Grantees will be required to report on their progress, including any challenges or successes they experience. The Banking Institution will work closely with grantees to provide technical assistance and support, as needed. By focusing on these priority outcomes, the grant program can help to drive meaningful change in North Carolina and promote a more equitable society.
Looking Ahead: Opportunities and Challenges
As the Grant Program Mentoring for Racial Equity moves forward in North Carolina, there are opportunities and challenges on the horizon. One opportunity is the potential for collaboration between grantees and state agencies, such as the North Carolina Department of Commerce, to drive economic growth and social justice. However, there are also challenges, such as ensuring that grantees have the necessary capacity and resources to achieve the priority outcomes. By understanding these opportunities and challenges, the Banking Institution can provide targeted support to grantees and help to ensure the success of the grant program.
