Summary

Unlock significant funding opportunities designed to foster community development and economic growth in North Carolina. The City offers diverse grants tailored for nonprofits and local businesses, empowering initiatives that directly benefit residents. Funding priorities encompass public services for low- and moderate-income individuals, business expansion, environmental cleanup, and infrastructure improvements.


Nonprofits providing essential services such as healthcare, childcare, and educational programs can access Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), with awards ranging from $5,000 for ongoing projects to $15,000 for innovative initiatives. This funding is aimed at enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable populations, ensuring equitable access to resources that promote stability and well-being. Businesses looking to invest or expand within the state may benefit from business incentive grants. These grants are structured as negotiated agreements, potentially offering tax rebates of up to 85% on real and personal property taxes, contingent upon meeting specific investment and job creation criteria.



Such incentives not only stimulate local economic growth but also foster job creation and enhanced commercial activity in the area. In addition, collaborative grants for major projects, including federal and state funding, can exceed $1,000,000 and are available for large-scale environmental or infrastructure enhancements. These initiatives have the potential to transform neighborhoods, promote sustainability, and encourage community engagement. With a commitment to supporting diverse applicants and impactful projects, North Carolina invites organizations and businesses to explore these funding avenues. The application process is accessible, providing a pathway to drive meaningful change within the community. Engaging in these opportunities can lead to lasting benefits for both the recipients and the residents of the state, ultimately fostering a more vibrant and resilient community.
