Golden LEAF Community Based Grantsmaking Initiative - Beaufort County

Dear Randall:

    On behalf of the Golden LEAF Foundation, I regret to inform you that Beaufort County was not selected to continue with the Community-Based Grantsmaking Initiative. We thank you for all your work to gather and prioritize project ideas. The process is a very competitive one, and the task was very difficult as we had three times as much in requests as we do in funding.

    Although the slate from your county was not invited to go forward at this time, we do have other funding cycles that might be of assistance.

    Our Open Grants program is available to receive relevant project ideas related to agriculture, job growth and retention, workforce preparedness, or other efforts to support and develop economic strength in tobacco-dependent, economically distressed and/or rural communities. For more information, go to http://goldenleaf.org/opengrants.html.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me, Pat Cabe, or Calvin Allen of the Golden LEAF staff if you have any questions. We look forward to our future work together. We all know there is much more to be done.

Sincerely,

    Dan Gerlach
      President

Latest Governing Beaufort County

The city council has only made two official acts as of February 16, 2026
While this afternoon’s update once again included increased probabilities of moderate to major impacts, it will likely be tomorrow before we receive specific accumulation details.
Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents.
Beaufort County is implementing a new emergency alert system. All residents are encouraged to sign up to receive alerts via phone and email.

Has the local government acted responsibly and transparently?
Beaufort County Commissioners meet, and work by a majority vote to do the business of those constituents they purport to represent.
Waste, fraud, abuse and incompetence continue to govern county school budgets and decision making.

HbAD2

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.
To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
We must vet, and elect those who will actually represent the people or we will be stuck with the same mess we have now.
