This is a cost-share funding resource offered by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s (NCWRC) Green Growth Toolbox program. The goal of Partners for Green Growth is to provide support for local government planning projects that consider wildlife and natural resource conservation in land use and development planning, incentives and ordinances.
We encourage you to share your ideas with us ahead of submitting the required Project Idea Submission.
Funding Summary

Projects that request funds up to $10,000 are preferred so that we may fund more projects. The funding request can only be up to 75 percent of the entire project cost and 25 percent non-federal in-kind match (cash match is not necessary) is required to make up the remaining total project cost. In-kind match is explained in the detailed application description (link below).
