Empowering North Carolina Women: Community Impact Grants Program in North Carolina (USA)
GrantID: 74608
Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant opportunity offers targeted support to nonprofit organizations delivering programs for women, children, and families.
Each year, grant awards range from $500 to $5,000. Funding can be used to address pressing issues like early childhood development, health and educational access, human services, mentoring, family support, nutrition, and basic well-being. Recipients have included organizations offering arts education in Title I schools, services for children with developmental disabilities, after-school enrichment, vision screening, cancer support, family literacy, and emergency assistance for basic needs like safe sleep.
Eligible applicants include tax-exempt nonprofits, certain units of local government (including schools), and similarly structured community-serving entities—like public safety departments. Faith-based groups may be considered only when proposing programs that benefit the broader community, but not for inherently religious activities or general operations. The opportunity is geographically limited—only organizations operating in the designated county may apply.
Grant funds are not available for regranting, capital campaigns, construction projects, or individual applicants. Organizations typically have one year to use the awarded funds, and the grantmaking cycle usually opens in the summer, with applications due sometime in August. Awards are decided through a combination of a small grants committee review and the collective vote of the giving circle members.
This funding path is ideal for nonprofits rooted in local service, seeking modest but meaningful support to expand impact for women, children, and families.
Eligible applicants in North Carolina with a demonstrated commitment to Arts, Culture, History & Humanities are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
