Applicants should align proposals tightly to one of the foundation’s four program areas and emphasize impact in North Carolina or South Carolina. Start with a concise letter of inquiry using the website guidance, request referral to the appropriate program officer, and be prepared to provide evaluation plans and a full proposal if invited; program officers and informal meetings/site visits are the expected route to compete for funding.
