DeadlinesApplications accepted on an ongoing basis PurposeThe goal of the program is to have a positive impact on the lives of North Carolina?s citizens in each of the state?s 100 counties. These grants will support activities that establish or expand local programs in health, science, and education to serve identified needs of local communities. In addition, grantees will benefit from technical assistance provided by the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits.EligibilityNorth Carolina community-based nonprofit organizations may apply. Individuals, faith-based, and fraternal organizations may not apply. Organizations currently receiving funding from the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation (traditional or Ribbon of Hope grant programs) are not eligible for additional funding. Informal groups without 501(c)(3) status may partner with a sponsor organization or group of organizations who may apply on behalf of the group. Proposals that include several community-based organizations forming a collaborative partnership interested in and supportive of the proposed work are encouraged to apply.

Proposals should relate to the establishment and implementation of projects tightly aligned with the goals and objectives of local community agencies, demonstrate their sustainability after grant funds are expended and, most important, address critical community needs that have been identified through comprehensive needs assessment activities. Priority will be given to nonprofits with proposals attending to 1) mental health prevention, intervention, and/or support activities; 2) adult literacy activities; 3) mentoring programs for children and youth; and 4) hands-on science activities for children and youth. These groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
