Do you want to provide input on how community projects receive County funding? If so, Buncombe County is now taking applications to join the Strategic Partnership Grant Committee. This is a chance to participate in a public budgeting process to steward $900,000 of County funds and help shape the future of our community.
About the committee
The purpose of the Committee is to make Strategic Partnership Grant investment recommendations to the Board of Commissioners for Buncombe County. Strategic Partnership Grant funding is awarded to nonprofit organizations working toward outcomes in alignment with County Commissioner-led priorities and goals. The Committee generally meets the first Thursday of every month from 1-2:30 p.m., with special meetings as needed. More information is available at BuncombeCounty.org/Grants. If you’d like more information about this or other committee opportunities, be sure to check out the upcoming boards and commissions fair.
