The Golden LEAF Foundation's Open Grants Program is designed to strengthen North Carolina's economy, particularly in tobacco-dependent, economically distressed, and/or rural communities. This program aligns directly with the foundation's mission to use its entrusted funds for projects with the highest potential for economic impact. The grants, ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, are available to governmental entities and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations across all North Carolina counties. The program targets communities and organizations capable of driving economic development in three priority areas: Job Creation and Economic Investment, Workforce Preparedness, and Agriculture. The impact goals are to foster economic growth and create opportunities in these specific sectors, ultimately benefiting the residents and businesses within the designated communities. The foundation's strategic priority is to invest in projects that demonstrate a clear potential for strengthening the state's economy. Competitive projects are those that seek funds to develop new workforce training programs, implement career pathways in high schools for high-demand fields, extend infrastructure to enable industrial development and job creation, or support new crops, expand agricultural markets, and provide farmer training. These focuses reflect the foundation's theory of change, which posits that targeted investments in these areas will lead to measurable economic improvements. While most awards are expected to be $200,000 or less, projects eligible for grants over $200,000 must demonstrate additional outcomes commensurate with the increased funding, result from multi-organizational planning with continued community engagement, build on a history of success to scale projects, be collaborative with innovative or regional features, leverage significant funding from other organizations, or be from applicants with limited resources where phased implementation would compromise outcomes. The expected outcomes are the creation of full-time jobs, enhanced workforce skills, improved agricultural practices, and overall economic revitalization in North Carolina.

The Master-Apprentice Artist Award, offered by the Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA), provides direct financial support to master traditional artists in Arizona. Its core mission is to facilitate the intergenerational transmission of art, culture, and heritage practices from master artists to apprentice learners. This aligns with SFA's broader goal of strengthening community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States, emphasizing the vital role of mentorship and hands-on experience in cultural preservation. Target beneficiaries include master traditional artists and culture bearers residing in Arizona, as well as apprentices aged 16 and older (or younger if immediate family of the master artist). The program prioritizes masters and apprentices within the same cultural community and aims to support underrepresented traditional art forms with few remaining local practitioners. The impact goal is to ensure the continuity and vitality of diverse traditional art forms, fostering a new generation of skilled practitioners and preserving cultural heritage. The program focuses on a one-on-one teaching-learning relationship, where funds can cover artist fees, raw materials, and essential travel. Traditional master artists receive $5,000, and apprentices receive $500. SFA's strategic priority is to identify and support artists who demonstrate mastery of their art form, community recognition, and the ability to effectively share traditional knowledge. This approach reflects a theory of change that informal, community-rooted mentorship is the most effective way to transmit and sustain traditional arts. Expected outcomes include the successful transfer of traditional art skills and knowledge from master to apprentice, leading to a strengthened base of cultural practitioners. Measurable results would involve the number of successful apprenticeships, the continuation or revitalization of specific traditional art forms, and the increased recognition and practice of these traditions within their respective communities. The program ensures that applicants are full-time Arizona residents, further embedding the initiative within the local cultural landscape.
