<br /> <br />P.O. Box 8181 * Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Telephone: (919)245‐2625 <br />Attachment 1 <br /> <br />Date: December 12, 2023 <br />To: Board of Orange County Commissioners <br />From: Amy Eckberg, Sustainability Programs Manager <br />RE: Orange County Community Climate Action Grant ‐ Project Descriptions, Scoring, and Comments for <br />General and School Applicants <br /> <br />For the 2023‐24 funding cycle of the Orange County Community Climate Action Grant program, $564,085 in <br />funding was budgeted to support climate action projects that benefit Orange County residents both socially and <br />financially. For this grant cycle, the Board of Orange County Commissioners reserved half of the total funding for <br />this grant program ($282,042.50) to be awarded to projects submitted by either of Orange County’s two public <br />school districts. The remaining half ($282,042.50) was to be made available to all other eligible “general” <br />applicants. <br /> <br />Based on feedback received from the Board, a concerted effort to publicize the grant opportunity was made this <br />year. A UNC‐Chapel Hill Eco Studio intern helped support our community engagement efforts through phone <br />calls, flyer distribution and “door to door” canvassing of local businesses, churches, and community groups. A <br />special info graphic announcing the grant was distributed via social media, Orange County TV screens, website, <br />and weekly happenings email. A targeted mass email went out to community groups, churches, nonprofits and <br />small businesses announcing the grant opportunity. As a result of all these outreach efforts, we received the <br />most grant applications ever received since the inception of the grant and many new applicants! <br /> <br />The Community Climate Action grant program received 11 “general” applications in this round from a variety of <br />nonprofit and public organizations whose total requests add up to almost $615,000. In addition, both school <br />districts submitted applications totaling almost $558,000. <br /> <br />Following the scoring and eligibility guidelines of the Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC), the <br />applications were reviewed and scored by the Commission for the Environment (CFE) and the Human Relations <br />Commission (HRC). The BOCC asked the Human Relations Commission to score the applications on the Social <br />Justice and Racial Equity criterion, as this pertains to their expertise and because the racial representation of the <br />CFE as a whole does not reflect the racial diversity of Orange County. <br /> <br />The following is a rank‐order summary table of the combined project scoring and recommendations. A full table <br />showing the scores for each project on each of the 7 scoring elements is included in the Appendix. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: EB7B9CC8-B910-4965-AF93-0969E3E03E78
