The City of Winston-Salem is seeking applications to provide grants to non-profit organizations to fund “transformative” programs that address such social and economic needs as poverty alleviation, job training and economic mobility.
Donor Name: City of Winston-Salem
State: North Carolina
City: Winston-Salem
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/25/2022
Details:
Through the transformational grant program, the city of Winston-Salem seeks to move the needle on key components of the city’s strategic plan, which trigger a profound, ripple effect of positive, multidimensional changes. Further, the city seeks to place equity at the forefront of the application, transforming historically significant and deeply disinvested low-income communities.
City Council could allocate up to $10.5 million for transformative grants: Up to $7 million could be earmarked for social assistance programs in such areas as poverty alleviation and economic mobility. The other $3.5 million could be set aside for economic assistance programs in the areas of job training, economic development and small business assistance. Money for the grants would come out of the $51.7 million in federal money the city is receiving through the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund approved by Congress last year.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be a non-profit organization with current 501(c)3 tax exempt status as confirmed by the Internal Revenue Service and current active status to conduct business in North Carolina at least one year prior to the date of the request for proposals publication as confirmed by the North Carolina Secretary of State.
