Title

The Northeastern North Carolina Internet Initiative

Description

Ruffin Associates, Inc. (RAI) and the Roanoke-Chowan Community College entered into a cooperative agreement in 1997 for the production and maintenance of the Northeastern North Carolina Internet Initiative. The initial phases of this project were funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, MI.

The Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 to "help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations". To achieve the greatest impact, the Foundation targets its grants toward specific focal points. These include: health; food systems; rural development; youth and education, higher education; and philanthropy and volunteerism. When woven throughout these areas, funding is provided for leadership; information systems / technology; efforts to capitalize on diversity; and family, neighborhood, and community development programming. Grants are concentrated in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and southern Africa.

Include internet linkages to key North Carolina State agencies, where applicable ... creating a close tie between Northeastern North Carolina activities and events with those available throughout the State.
