Grants for Nonprofits in North Carolina

North Carolina keeps a directory of state grant programs on nc.gov, listed by category and agency, from agriculture and building reuse to historic preservation and the arts. It describes programs rather than open rounds, so dates come from each agency's page. GrantCue reads the directory, the Department of Health and Human Services division grant pages, the state parks grant site, and programs from Charlotte and Raleigh.

Arts money reaches all 100 counties through the NC Arts Council's Grassroots Arts Program, which funds one partner organization per county, usually the local arts council. In counties of more than 50,000 people, at least half of that money is regranted to other organizations.
