One of the goals of Resourceful Communities is to help our grassroots partners become leaders in developing projects that demonstrate innovative approaches that blend conservation, sustainable community economic development and social justice. As grassroots organizations, our partners are personally connected and committed to the communities they serve. The work they do has meaningful impact on their communities. We simply provide resources and support for their work.
We are currently engaged in helping partners implement innovative strategies that meet the triple bottom line all across the state. Projects include:
The Creating New Economies Fund grant program is a small grants program administered by the Resourceful Communities Program that helps RCP partners build capacity and implement innovative projects that that integrate the triple bottom line. Learn more about the CNEF program.
Working for more than 20 years in economically distressed communities throughout North Carolina, Resourceful Communities follows the lead and wisdom of local leaders. Learn more about our partners.
Your gift provides the resources to promote self-sufficient, equitable, and sustainable communities throughout North Carolina.
Resourceful Communities has helped partners establish NC's first community forest on a 532-acre parcel in Hoke County. Community forestry engages local partners in planning, management and stewardship. Adjacent to forestlands with the second largest US population of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, this community forest will restore habitat and provide economic, recreational and educational opportunities and more.
Watch the UNC-TV report about Hoke Community Forest and learn about benefits to the community and future plans for the forest.
