Additional detail on uses:
  • The Western NC Recovery team has hired grants staff to work directly with town, county or council of government staff on grant applications, offering customized support to each agency.
  • If you already have a grant application selected or underway, we can provide support with either technical assistance (drafting portions of a grant application, reviewing and making recommendations, etc.) or full grant writing support.
  • If you don't yet know which opportunity is right for you, then our support begins by learning more about your project and helping your organization select the programs that are most suited for the work. Then, we work with a designated member of your staff to develop a compelling grant narrative and source all the information that is required for each federal or state grant opportunity.
Prohibited Uses:
  • If you do not have a 501c3 or government legal status, we cannot support you with grant research unless you have an active fiscal sponsor that you have worked with for at least two years.
  • If your government is under active Local Government Commission management, you will be ineligible for most federal and state funded programs until the active period of management has ended.
  • If you are seeking construction funding and don't yet have site control or ownership, it is unlikely that you are eligible for any state construction or infrastructure funding.
