Building Sustainable Futures

Treasured landscapes. Celebrated heritage.

Resourceful people.

 

Our rural counties face tremendous challenges. In North Carolina, Resourceful Communities creates opportunities that preserve the rural landscape, lift people out of poverty, and celebrate the state’s unique culture.

 

Working with a network of over 250 grassroots and community organizations across the state, we take a balanced “triple bottom line” approach that focuses on environmental stewardship, sustainable economic development and social justice. We help partners meet challenges by building on local assets — people, heritage, land and water — to create sustainable communities.

 

Triple Bottom Line Approach

 

Our unique “triple bottom line” approach integrates sustainable economic development, environmental stewardship, and social justice to create lasting solutions to age-old challenges such as poverty, racism, and resource loss.
