Keep North Carolina Beautiful
Preserving North Carolina's Beauty and Environment
Who We Are
Keep NC Beautiful and NC Beautiful have merged to form Keep North Carolina Beautiful!
Both organizations have a long history of working to preserve the physical beauty of North Carolina. Together, our goal is to support environmental awareness, education, sustainability, and beautification efforts that positively impact the quality of life of North Carolinian’s through our hands-on community projects and Window of Opportunity (WOO) K-12 financial grant program.
​
Keep North Carolina Beautiful is an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful.
What We Do
We concentrate on hands-on programs designed to encourage and enable active involvement by our citizens throughout North Carolina. It’s this active involvement, by people who share our commitment and belief in our vision, that will help keep North Carolina beautiful.
​
Keep North Carolina Beautiful also engages and supports non-profit organizations through our annual Window of Opportunity Grants to preserve and maintain North Carolina’s beauty in three focus areas:
Beautification Efforts
Litter Cleanup & Prevention
Waste Reduction & Recycling
In addition, KNCB partners with Capitol Broadcasting Company/WRAL to provide between 5,000 - 10,000 azaleas annually to other non-profit organizations. Over the history of this program, close to 300,000 azaleas have been planted throughout the state of North Carolina from the coast to the mountains. ​
How We Are Funded
Though we are an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, KNCB receives no Federal, State, or Local government or municipality funding.
Keep North Carolina Beautiful relies on funding to support its programs across the state through the corporate sponsors and partnerships we develop, annual grants that we apply for, hosting annual fundraising events, and individual giving.
​
We are genuinely grateful for all of the support we receive in an effort to grow our educational and hands on impact across the state of North Carolina
