The goal of this initiative is to promote positive relationships within the community through dialogue, education, programs, and resources.
The Community Relations Council provides grants for projects or programs that directly support the CRC's mission. Priority will, generally, be given to projects that are designed to deliver the greatest impact on positive human relations, that are most effective in bringing different sub-communities of Hickory together, and that provide services and resources to the people who can most benefit.
Funds may be used for contracts for services and/or specified honoraria provided the proposed recipient is providing direct services to the target population.
