IN JULY, OUR GANNETT FOUNDATION ENTRY WAS 'CAROLINA RIDES ARE VITAL RIDES!' THE ONLINE 'CROWD-SOURCED' FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE WAS A 'SPRINT' FROM JUL 19 TO AUG 13. WE RAISED $5,850 ONLINE AND WERE EXCITED TO QUALIFY FOR LOCAL GRANT CONSIDERATION BECAUSE OUR TIER 1 GANNETT FOUNDATION'S 'A COMMUNITY THRIVES' DONORS AND DOLLARS EXCEEDED THEIR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.FOLLOWUP FUNDRAISING PRODUCED TWO GRANTS IN DECEMBER - A SOUTHERN FIRST BANK CRA $1,000 GRANT AS WELL AS A $10,000 GRANT FOR LOCAL OPERATING COSTS OF A RIDES+ MOBILITY FOR ALL PILOT PROJECT IN NICHOLTOWN, AN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY.
