Purpose: To establish a funding process that increases the capacity of non-profits in the community that support need-based community building efforts established by the New Hanover County Board of County Commissioners for residents of New Hanover County. Specifically, it is intended that this Capacity Building Initiative will prioritize support for non-profit agencies that serve Impact Zone schools and those residents who live in close proximity to the Impact Zone schools. The seven Impact Zone schools are identified as: International School at Gregory, Snipes Academy of Art and Design, Forest Hills Global Elementary, Rachel Freeman School of Engineering, D.C. Virgo Preparatory Academy, Williston Middle School and New Hanover High School.
Target Categories: Employability and jobs, housing, financial assistance, and youth education.
Funding decisions based upon a program's ability to:
- Address barriers, program accessibility, and equity.
- Focus on vulnerable and under-resourced populations. An emphasis will be placed upon programs serving the Impact Zone schools and residents living in close proximity.
- Balance intervention (meeting immediate needs) and prevention strategies (long-term outcomes).
- Utilize best practices and use or develop Standardized Program Evaluation Protocols (SPEP).
- Use or develop proven tracking and evaluation tools clearly tied to program outcomes.
