Golden LEAF Community Based Grant Initiative
body
Summary:
summary
Through its Community Based Grants Initiative (CBGI) programming, the Golden LEAF Foundation seeks to provide assistance for projects in the Western Prosperity Zone of North Carolina. To be eligible, a project must have the endorsement of the County Manager. Eligible interested organizations and local governments were invited to complete a pre-Letter of Intent. Three pre-Letters of Intent were received, which were reviewed, evaluated, scored and ranked by a locally appointed Rutherford County Golden LEAF CBGI application review committee. The committee met on August 31 and reached a consensus to recommend the endorsement of two of the projects that were submitted, which were:
KidSenses, Inc The Factory project in the amount of $1,500,000
The Mary B. Mullen Bible Camp, Inc. Small Computer Lab project in the amount of $20,025
It is requested that the Board authorize the County Manager to endorse the KidSenses project and the Mary B. Mullen Bible Camp project and to invite these two organizations to submit their formal Letters of Intent to Golden LEAF for their consideration.
