Projected Income Sources (check all that apply)
If you have checked the box for Grant or Business/Organization Donation, your first step is to reach out to the
Gold Award funding counselor Mary Malaythong at mmalaythong@nccoastalpines.org. The funding counselor will
help evaluate the feasibility of your budget and assist you in creating a funding plan, preparing the paperwork,
and answering questions along the way. The funding counselor will assist you in developing a plan to achieve
your budget but is unable to provide approval for your project proposal. Only the Gold Award Committee can
approve the proposal you submit.
Remember, you must connect with the Gold Award Funding Counselor before taking any type of action to secure
project funding that includes writing grants or soliciting for corporate donations and your project must be approved
by the Gold Award Committee. To help clarify,
• Money-earning activities require approval from the Gold Award committee.
• Grants and business/organization requests for donations require approval from the Gold Award funding
counselor.
Crowdsourcing such as Go Fund Me, Network for Good, and via Facebook are not permitted by GS-NCCP. Donations should
not exceed estimated expenses. A complete accounting with receipts is required at the completion of the project. Any unused
donations must be returned to GS-NCCP to be used to offset Gold Award program administrative costs.
