Resourceful Communities partners (nonprofits and municipalities) are eligible to apply for CNEF grants. Each participating organization is required to attend a technical assistance session prior to submitting a proposal. Projects must integrate the triple bottom line -- sustainable economic development, social justice and environmental stewardship. In addition, partners are encouraged to involve traditionally underserved communities in planning and implementation efforts and to collaborate with other area partners. CNEF grants do not support deficit financing nor individuals or initiatives not associated with an organization or community. CNEF funding supports projects within North Carolina.
Technical assistance sessions, which are required for new applicants, have been completed for the upcoming grant cycle.
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.

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.
