The N.C. Community Development Initiative will host a webinar and three regional information sessions to brief nonprofits on its new grant program.
The Initiative is launching a new multi-year grant program, the Community Enterprise Fund, designed to help North Carolina’s most effective community-based enterprises implement strategic economic development plans that have potential for significant impact in the communities they serve. The fund is open to nonprofit organizations that are using community economic development strategies.
To learn more about the Community Enterprise Fund, register for the webinar or one of the regional information sessions listed below. Millie Brobston, program officer for grant investments, will give a presentation on the fund and answer questions.
