Alexander County is committed to promoting partnerships with non-profit organizations whose missions and goals are to improve the overall wellbeing of the citizens of Alexander County through dedicated service and advocacy. In an effort to ensure accountability and transparency of the use of public funds in fostering these partnerships, Alexander County has created an application process for non-profit corporations holding 501(c)(3) status to request public funding.
To be eligible for recommendation for funding, all of the following must be met:
- Organizations must submit on a yearly basis an IRS tax-exempt letter proving 501(c)(3) status.
- Each application must be submitted prior to the published deadline and must be complete.
- Organizations must clearly and succinctly state how the services they provide will meet a community need and describe the benefit incurred by the general public through use of public funding.
- Each application must include achievable goals and plans for meeting goals.
- Organizations making funding requests must not duplicate services already funded by Alexander County.
- Organizations must show financial stability and a history of fiduciary responsibility.
For more information on eligibility requirements and the funding process, please see the Alexander County Non-Profit Organization Funding Policy.
Applications are due to the Alexander County Administration Office by the published deadline.
If approved, each organization will be required to approve and execute the Contract of Allocation of County Funds to Non-Profit Organizations prior to receiving funding. A draft copy is available for review. Once approved for funding, county staff will provide to the organization an executed copy for signatures. PDF Contract
