Meeting with Program Staff
Program staff of both the Health Care and Poor and Needy divisions of the Trust are committed to staying in touch with nonprofits across the state. We are available to meet for consultation with prospective applicants and members of the community to work on issues that align well with the priorities and areas of emphasis that relate to improving quality of life and quality of health for financially needy North Carolinians.

Together, you and your Program Officer will determine whether a face-to-face meeting is most appropriate or a telephone conversation is sufficient.
