In 2014, the Duplin County Community Foundation will offer grants from the Duplin County Unrestricted Endowment (“community grants”) and the Duplin Foundation for Youth Advancement (“DFYA grants”).
Potential applications should carefully review the eligibility guidelines and grant criteria before applying for a grant.
Note that the criteria for the two grants differ. Organizations may apply for both grants; however, you must submit a separate application for each fund.
Grant Cycle Dates
The 2014 online grant application cycle begins on Friday, July 4 and closes at noon on Tuesday, August 19, 2014. The online application will be available beginning July 4th through the North Carolina Community Foundation website, www.nccommunityfoundation.org. Grant awards are announced in September.
Who Can Apply?
