Central Carolina Community Foundation brought On The Table to the Midlands in 2018. This offered community members a conversation-based, community-focused opportunity to gather together for meaningful conversations and discuss what’s great about our community and how we can make it even better. On the Table participants were excited and passionate about the fresh, innovative ideas to work together and improve our communities. To help these ideas become a reality, the Community Foundation launched Beyond the Table grants.
Beyond the Table grants offer up to $4,000 to organizations, groups and individuals with a fiscal sponsorship who are interested in building community and taking action in the 11 counties of the Midlands. Grant proposal must address an identified need based on a community discussion with at least four (4) community members.
Beyond the Table grants should be developed based on a need identified by the community. The project should be developed through intentional conversations with at least four community members who are educated on and impacted by this identified need. Please note, on the application you will be asked to provide a list of community members who participated in these discussions.
Proposed projects will be scored based on their ability to positively impact the community. Proposed projects should:
The Community Foundation will award up to $20,000 in grants.
Organizations can request up to $4,000.
Note: The Community Foundation acknowledges general costs are associated with operating a nonprofit. As such, grantees may allocate up to 15% of their grant award for general and administrative costs (i.e. overhead or indirect costs).
Please note: Mailed, Emailed, Faxed, or Hand-Delivered Applications will not be accepted.
Applications will be reviewed by the Beyond the Table Grant Committee of Central Carolina Community Foundation. This committee is composed of community leaders, including On the Table Planning Committee members and Community Foundation trustees. Final funding decisions are approved by the CCCF Board of Trustees. Declinations will be emailed.
