Hello,
As I read your e-mail, it occurred to me that your program sounds a lot 
like Communities In Schools. We are a national program with a mission to 
help kids stay in school and graduate. We have tons of programs and I am 
the development contact. You can try Safe and Drug Free Schools, Brown, 
Meadows, Swalm, and particularly city funding and United Way funding. If I 
can help, let me know.

Karen,

I'm a Greensborian as well.  Please excuse me if I'm telling you something 
you already know.  The resource we use for NC grantors (aside from 
constant gum-shoeing on- and offline) is www.capdev.com.  They produce the 
book and online version of NC Giving.  You can slice and dice foundations 
by name, interest areas, directors/trustess, location, etc.

I give it a C+ as a resource because the information is often incorrect or 
outdated.  Nonetheless, it's the best thing I've found so far.  I'd love 
to hear what other people are using for NC and national funding research.

Peace and grace,
Robin Britt, Jr.

Dear Karen:

For your education/mentor program, the funding initiative that come to 
mind is HUD ROSS (Residents Opportunities for Self Sufficiency).  This is 
an underutilized fund.  Check it out!
