Invest in Coastal and Rural North Carolina

Why Your Gift Matters

Your gift has the power to change the course of a small business. For an entrepreneur in coastal North Carolina, access to fair lending or tailored coaching can mean the difference between struggling to stay afloat and creating jobs that sustain families and strengthen communities.

Array CDC builds opportunity where it is needed most. We help families and small businesses by expanding access to capital, strengthening entrepreneurial skills, and fueling industries that grow local economies. In rural and coastal areas, entrepreneurs often face higher barriers to funding, training, and resources. Your support helps close that gap and creates pathways for lasting change.

This campaign has a goal of $100,000. Every contribution invests directly in people and businesses that drive community resilience. Your gift strengthens local lending, expands business coaching, and supports initiatives like the Shellfish Growers Loan Fund that grow sustainable industries and create jobs.
