Buncombe County government provides $3,700 annually to fund activities in the various organized communities in the county. These dollars were converted to be used in a mini grant program to help fund projects needed by the communities. These grants would typically be in the $500 range and could be used to help provide equipment, pay operating expenses, or provide educational programming in the community. This new system was met with enthusiasm by all the clubs involved, and initial grant applications are being acceptedthrough July 2012.

Reverse Trick or Treating for the Food Pantry by the Teen ECA Club

Members of the Tyrrell Extension & Community Association (ECA) provide educational outreach and assistance in the community to improve the lives of our residents. During the past 6 months, some of their outreach has included: creating a Valentine Basket and visiting clients of the Cahoon Center (for mentally ill adults), providing the lunch and snacks for the 2 day District Craft Workshop, holding the annual ECA Commissioner’s Appreciation Event, giving $600 to a graduating Senior to continue their education, donating money to the 4-H Dock of the Bay and the Tyrrell County Scholarship, providing over $500 for the Boys & Girls Home at Lake Waccamaw, making financial donations to families in need due to sickness and so much more. These 56 ladies provide for the community in many ways and many benefit from their outreach.

Lesson Learned: Since the report, we now have 4 clubs (2 clubs that were losing members due to sickness and death joined together). Each club contributes in its own special way to the community, which works out great since the membership is varied so more needs are recognized and met in the community.

A long time ago, I learned to let the clubs/members know I am here for them – questions, materials, programs, etc…  But I let them decide what their focus and activities are and do not micro manage. Members feel more valued, work harder and stay around longer if they are doing what they feel is important to them, and not what is dictated by someone else.

Many Robeson County departments, organizations, and agencies are experiencing reduced budgets due to difficult economic hardships. Based on this need, Robeson County Cooperative Extension offered a 2-day grant-writing workshop. Thirty-four (34) participants attended from local non-profits, churches, county government and other organizations. Training was provided on writing grants, locating funding sources, contacting grantors, and finding statistical information. Workshop surveys revealed 100% of the participants increased their knowledge in the areas of writing grants and finding grantors. Additionally, 100% of the participants indicated the intent to submit a grant in the future. Given the county economic situation, organizations and county residents can benefit from the receipt of grant funds.
