Tips to Consider when Seeking Funding for a Project
- Always check the funding agency’s website or call for current deadlines or requirements.
- Don’t forget local resources, community foundations, utilities, etc.
- Look for others in the region that have done similar projects and find out how their project was successful and what agencies, if any, provided funding assistance.
- If your search of the funding partners contained here does not lead you to a viable funding source(s) or if you would like additional support in locating possible sources of funds or preparing applications, please contact the NCRPC directly for staff assistance.
