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.
