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.
