<br /> <br />P.O. Box 8181 * Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Telephone: (919)245‐2625 <br />Attachment 1 <br /> <br />Date: December 10, 2024 <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 General <br />Applicants <br /> <br />For the 2024‐25 funding cycle of the Orange County Community Climate Action Grant program, $262,500 in funding <br />was budgeted to support climate action projects that benefit Orange County residents both socially and financially. <br />In response to feedback from the Board in previous years, the Sustainability team enhanced its outreach efforts to <br />publicize the grant opportunity, broadening the applicant pool and increasing community awareness of this impactful <br />climate action program. Staff conducted targeted email campaigns directed at local businesses, community groups, <br />and nonprofits. A specially designed infographic announcing the grant was shared widely through social media, <br />Orange County TV screens, the County website, and the Orange County Weekly Happenings email newsletter. <br />Additionally, staff presented at the annual Ag Summit, promoting both the County’s new Climate Action Plan and the <br />Community Climate Action Grant program. New promotional signs were also created and displayed throughout <br />County facilities during the summer, further highlighting the grant opportunity. As a result of these comprehensive <br />outreach efforts, we received a record number of grant applications, including many from first‐time applicants! <br />The Community Climate Action grant program received a total of 25 applications in this round from a variety of <br />nonprofit groups, small businesses, and public organizations whose total requests added up to $1,151,873. <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 Justice <br />and Racial Equity criterion, as this pertains to their expertise and because the racial representation of the CFE as a <br />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 />5Docusign Envelope ID: 257985C7-FC41-4937-8E64-B610C38DBA58
