4 <br /> SPECIAL GRANTMAKING PROGRAM <br /> The Foundation will be distributing up to $150,000 in grants through a special program <br /> in our Fall 1997 grant cycle. Applications will be considered from nonprofit <br /> organizations, government agencies, and religious congregations. Nonprofit <br /> organizations must be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue <br /> Code. Neighborhood associations, civic groups, and other community associations <br /> interested in applying may affiliate with an eligible organization for the purposes of this <br /> application. The Foundation will make grants from this fund in the $5,000425,000 <br /> range. <br /> Grants will support: <br /> • Programs that promote and nurture written expression. <br /> • Programs of urban design and planning, whose goal is to revitalize or beautify the <br /> downtown areas of cities within the Foundation's service area. <br /> • Programs that demonstrate regional collaboration, especially in the areas of regional <br /> planning and economic development. These programs ideally would benefit <br /> communities throughout the Foundation's entire service area, including Wake, <br /> Durham, Orange, and Chatham counties. <br /> The Foundation is particularly interested in, but not limited to, start-up or innovative <br /> projects or projects that eliminate any duplication of services in these areas. Please use <br /> the attached grant application. <br />
