The Golden Leaf Community-Based Grant Initiative is designed to identify projects with the potential to have a significant impact. It is a focused process with grants targeted toward investments in the building blocks of economic growth. Funds are limited to projects that address Golden LEAF priorities of job creation and economic investment, agriculture, and workforce preparedness

Eligible Entities

Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations or governmental entities (county and municipal governments, community colleges, universities, etc.) Funds do not have to be administered or implemented by the county government.

Process

County managers serve a key role in the process. Each county manager will submit projects for feedback by Golden LEAF and later endorse a slate of up to four projects for consideration. Each county will determine how to identify which projects will be endorsed for this initiative. Only projects that have been endorsed will be eligible to submit an application for consideration by the Golden LEAF Board of Directors.

Deadline

Application must be submitted to Golden Leaf by August 5 on behalf of the Iredell County Manager.
