The Town of Carrboro, along with the Town of Chapel Hill and Orange County, is rolling out changes to the human services funding process for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
These changes aim to improve the experience for nonprofit organizations seeking funding for community programs and services.
The Towns and County are transitioning to an online portal for application submission administered through the Town of Chapel Hill’s website. This new system will provide a more efficient and user-friendly process for applicants and staff, eliminating the need for emailed submissions.
This change follows the implementation of several changes stemming from a racial equity assessment (http://www.carrboronc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13808/Racial-Equity-Assessment-Lens-Summary?bidId=) of the Human Services Program in 2022. These changes include revising the funding application to include indicators used by the U.S. Census to allow for better tracking over time, and updating the scoring rubric used to evaluate applications to include racial equity.
