NCACDC Receives Grant
The Mary Reynolds Babcock
Foundation has awarded the North
Carolina Association of Community
Development Corporations grants
totaling $/u,uuu. "i'hc~Eq uity and
Predevelopment Loan Fund
received $40,000 and the Child Care
Initiative received $30,000.
The NCACDC is a statewide
membership organization for com
munity development corporations.
A needs assessment conducted in
1990 identified several areas of
opportunity in financing and devel
oping projects in the target area and
the NCACDC responded with the
creating of the Equity and Predevel
? opment Loan Fund. The Loan Fund
offers over $1 million in loan capital
to assist non-profit community
development corporations in project
development. The predevelopment
loan team helps to secure permanent
financing and offers counseling and
planning expertise. The loan fund in
operated on a need basis. Some of
the activities of the Loan Fund team
include the creation and evaluation
^>f market studies, developing bud
gets, identifying potential project
funders, evaluating financing terms,
^ and packaging the deal into a pro
fessional presentation for investors.
State and local research also identi
fied unique opportunities in the area
of child care. Recent research
uncovered the fact the effective
child care services are an integral
part of a community's economic ?
base." This service, -at its best,
enables single parents and mothers
to work and ensures that children
get a good start in life. At its worst,
the lack of effective child care will
keep thousands of children on the
waiting list for child care subsidies.
In response to this, the NCACDC
launched the Child Care I nitiative in
1993 to systematically link the child
care and nonprofit development sec- ~
tots in underdeveloped communi
ties. The major thrUst of the Initia
tive is to have educated policy
makers integrate child care issues
into economic development policy
and to include community develop
ment corporations in early program
ming efforts. The funds from the
Babcock Foundation will continue
the work of the Child Care Initiative
by increasing children's participa
tion in the policy issues that affect
them.
