The North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation (the Foundation) announces guidelines, criteria, and deadlines for its Ribbon of Hope mini-grants program. The goal of the program is to have a positive impact on the lives of North Carolina’s citizens in each of the state’s 100 counties. Over the next three years, the Foundation will award mini-grants of $25,000 to North Carolina community-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. These grants will support activities that establish or expand local programs in health, science, and education to serve identified needs of local communities. In addition, grantees will benefit from technical assistance provided by the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits.
The Foundation supports programs that emphasize the understanding and application of health, science, and education to meet the needs of North Carolina’s citizens and communities. In order to be considered, proposals should relate to the establishment and implementation of projects tightly aligned with the goals and objectives of local community agencies, demonstrate their sustainability after grant funds are expended and, most important, address critical community needs that have been identified through comprehensive needs assessment activities. Priority will be given to nonprofits with proposals attending to 1) mental health prevention, intervention, and/or support activities; 2) adult literacy activities; 3) mentoring programs for children and youth; and 4) hands-on science activities for children and youth. These groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
