Funding for Programs Expanding Access to Cultural Opportunities in North Carolina (USA)
GrantID: 75185
Grant Funding Amount Low: $7,500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $7,500
Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit organizations addressing issues that affect women, girls, and families in a specific multi-county region. Each year, the group convenes to set a thematic focus (for example, housing affordability for women and girls) and invites nonprofits whose work aligns with that focus to apply.
Grants are offered to organizations incorporated under nonprofit status or governmental entities (or with a fiscal sponsor), provided they offer services or programs in one or more of the designated counties in the region. Preference is given to nonprofits whose annual budgets are on the more modest side. Previous recipients of the grant in recent cycles are typically ineligible to apply again.
The funding is generous but intended to be catalytic. The awarded funds (up to a mid-thousands amount) can be used either for general operating support or for specific programmatic expenses that help the applicant further its mission in the selected focus area. Because funds are unrestricted or programmatic, grantees have flexibility to direct them where they are most needed, whether toward staffing, outreach, program expansion, or capacity building.
Each cycle has a defined application window (with deadlines announced in advance), and the decision process includes review of proposals for alignment with the focus, organizational capacity, community impact, and feasibility. Grant awards are announced after the review period, and successful applicants may participate in site visits or follow-up conversations with the grantors.
This opportunity is offered on an annual basis, reflecting an ongoing commitment to support community organizations working to improve conditions for women, girls, and families in the region.
If you are located in North Carolina and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
