Join us in building an economy where all have opportunities to prosper – Give Today

We need you!  Join us by becoming a part of our NCGrowth Giving Circle and supporting our efforts to build an economy with opportunities for all to prosper. Your gift helps us create good jobs and new wealth in economically distressed communities by:

  • Providing technical assistance to small- and medium-sized businesses on topics including: financial analysis, manufacturing process improvement, natural resource management planning;
  • Collaborating with leaders of Tribes, states, counties, municipalities, regional governmental entities, and other organizations on economic and community development planning, including market research, economic impact analysis, strategic planning, and community visioning.
  • Producing publicly-available applied research on community-driven economic strategies such as rural incubator development, leveraging natural assets for economic development, and business retention strategies.
  • Leveraging the significant purchasing power of anchor institutions (e.g., universities, hospitals, military bases, governments) to grow and expand small, local historically underutilized businesses.
  • Host unique, cross-sector convenings and workshops to bring together diverse perspectives and have the power to change lives.
