Being a rural community has resulted in a close collaboration of community human and fiscal resources to insure the wise use of funds to help its peoples. The Tri-County Partnership was organized in July 1994 to facilitate the community mini-grants program. Fifty-four groups from the region were awarded $108,000 to implement community projects. The purposes of the organization are to encourage community and county groups to build stronger communities and a healthier economy and to initiate projects that encourage collaboration and skill building within the tri-county area. The group meets monthly and has participated in training opportunities such as "Helping Small Towns Survive" held at Jackson's Mill and "Sustaining Rural Communities" held in Lincoln County. To date Tri-County Partnership has successfully administered grant funds totaling $299,500. We believe that understanding root causes is the first step to developing preventive strategies. Having a diverse partnership enables us to examine issues from more than one perspective. We address a multitude of needs in the community providing a holistic approach to community improvement. Our partnership is composed of all segments from the communities in our regions; we have representation from, public agencies, low-income individuals and private business representatives.
