This grant was awarded from the City of Asheville Community Block Development Grant (CBDG). The guidelines are very strict and specific to receive the funding. Detailed reports are required quarterly and funding is released by reimbursement only. This means the City will not release any funds without receipts and detailed explanation on the spending of the funds. Bountiful Cities Program Director Nicole Hinebaugh monitored the implementation of the grant with scheduled frequent meetings to ensure the spending of funds remained within the scope of the grant application and approval. This was the first time our organization entered into this type of grant process, because of the incubation of Patchwork and Bountiful Cities relationship of incubating this urban farm this particular grant was appropriate fitting the need for expansion. From our experience we would not apply for this funding due to the amount of reporting that is required by our agency without adequate compensation from the grant funds.
