Community Service Grants. The County is looking for nonprofit
organizations that can provide services in the following areas:
• Improve the high school graduation rate
• Train and place unemployed workers
• Prevent health risks and diseases
• Promote financial self-sufficiency
At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012, staff will be on hand to
explain the County's RFP process. The information session is in Room
267 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 East Fourth
Street. The grant award funding period is for Fiscal Year 2013, from
July 2012 to June 2013. Priority consideration will be given to
services with proven success strategies.
On Feb. 1, the RFP documents will be available online at www.MecklenburgCountyNC.gov
and individuals with questions can email grants@MecklenburgCountyNC.gov
for assistance.
The four target areas of this competitive RFP process reflect some of
the specific areas endorsed by the Board of County Commissioners in
FY2012 as most critical to improve the quality of life for residents.
County Manager Harry L. Jones Sr. recommended these critical success
factors, which were identified through a statistical survey of
Mecklenburg County residents, a community forum, employee input and
analysis of the County's progress toward desired results. Mecklenburg
County government is committed to making strategic investments in the
community's future.
