The County is looking for proposals that: 

• Improve the high school graduation rate
• Train and place unemployed workers
• Prevent health risks and diseases
• Promote financial self-sufficiency

On Feb. 5, 2013, staff will be on hand to explain the County’s RFP process. The meeting starts at 10a.m. in Room 267 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 East Fourth Street.
The grant award funding period is for Fiscal Year 2014 (July 2013 through June 2014). On Feb. 5, 2013, RFP documents will be available at www.MecklenburgCountyNC.gov. For questions, e-mail grants@MecklenburgCountyNC.gov.

The four target areas of the competitive RFP process reflect some of the specific areas endorsed by the Board of County Commissioners in FY13 as the 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. Improvement in these identified critical success factors will help bring about renewal for the community and its residents in the aftermath of the recession.

Any nonprofit organization serving Mecklenburg County is eligible to submit a proposal; however consideration will be given only to proposals that clearly contribute to one of the four target areas.
