Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Hurricane Helene recovery across Western North Carolina counties
- Affordable housing development, repairs, and tenant assistance in WNC
- Safety net clinics, FQHCs, and general operating for health providers
- Small business lending, capital access, and entrepreneur technical assistance
- Early childhood workforce retention and community college career pathways
- Food access, food banks, and regional food hub capacity
Typical grant
Median grant is $60,000 and the middle half runs $18,000 to $155,000, so most of the 1,824 grants are modest. The very large checks, $1 million to $21 million, go to intermediaries that redeploy capital: community foundations, loan funds, CDFIs, and regional health systems. Repeat giving is common, with Mountain Housing Opportunities, Impact Health, Pisgah Legal Services, Community Action Opportunities, and MAHEC each appearing several times in a single year for different purposes.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT”
- “POST-HURRICANE HELENE”
- “WNC”
- “SAFETY NET”
- “CAPACITY BUILDING”
- “LOW-INCOME”
Positioning adjacent work
- Name specific WNC counties served. Grants list them explicitly: 'eight WNC counties,' 'Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey.'
- Ask $150,000 to $350,000 for a defined project unless you are a capital intermediary.
- Tie research to their funded themes: opioid settlement planning, older adult outcomes, health policy consortium, trauma resilience.
- Frame as operating or capacity support rather than a discrete study. They fund organizations, not just projects.
Worth knowing: This is a place-based funder: 1,773 of 1,824 grants went to North Carolina, almost entirely the western counties, and the few out-of-state grants (Health Resources in Action, Project HOPE, Community Reinvestment Fund) all deliver services or research back into WNC. Since Helene in late 2024, disaster recovery framing runs through nearly every large grant, and a small set of Asheville-based intermediaries absorbs a disproportionate share of the dollars.
