Community funding pool to aid nonprofits

Macon County non-profit organizations have until July 30 to apply for grants through the Macon County Community Funding Pool.

Organizations applying for funds must provide financial statements such as budgets and federal tax-exempt reports, organization goals and objectives and program descriptions, and board/staff roster. Groups not incorporated as non-profits may enlist an established non-profit to serve as their fiscal agent.

Application forms and instructions are available on the Macon County website, www.maconnc.org, or at the Macon County Public Library.

First-time applicants should contact Karen Wallace, 828.524.3600, or Mary Ann Sloan, 828.526.4280, to discuss their proposal.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
