Macon County Community Funding Pool

MACON COMMUNITY FUNDING POOL OPENS
APPLICATION CYCLE

The application process for funding year 2024 is now open

Non-Profit organizations serving Macon County have until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024, to apply for county funds through the Macon County Community Funding Pool (CFP). Applications (including required budget forms) and instructions are available below.

Organizations applying for CFP funds must provide financial statements such as budgets, federal tax-exempt reports, organizational goals and objectives, and program/service descriptions. Questions regarding the application process and/or First-time applicants should contact Bobbie Contino at (828) 342-7872 to discuss their proposal before applying. Groups not incorporated as non-profits may enlist an established non-profit to serve as their fiscal agent. Collaborative agency proposals are encouraged to leverage limited funding and to share resources.

The Community Funding Pool was established to help the Macon County Board of Commissioners allocate tax-generated funds to local non-profits in a fair and efficient way. Macon County Commissioners voted to allocate $75,000 in support of this funding cycle. The CFP Task Force is composed of citizens chosen by the Commissioners to consider applications and make recommendations to the Board, who make final funding decisions. The Community Funding Pool is a separate entity from the Macon County Community Foundation.
