THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Rural Communities, Disadvantaged Communities, Race/Ethnicity, North Carolina
Deadline: Jan. 30, 2025
“Community Progress Fund grants help local organizations in North Carolina’s 78 rural counties move an idea, issue, project or organization forward, with the goal of improving their community. Grants are meant to help groups build on existing momentum to take their work to the next level. We support a range of organizations, from food banks to family shelters, daycares to theaters. We have funded executive director transition planning, pilot programs, and even building repairs for anchor organizations to ensure they can continue serving their communities. We believe in the power of home-grown solutions driven and led by community members. The criteria for this grant program are intentionally broad because we want to be responsive to communities’ diverse needs.”
Funder: The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation (ZSR)
