The board of directors of the North Carolina Community Foundation recently awarded a $25,000 Disaster Relief Fund grant to Longleaf Productions to support the production of a Hurricane Matthew documentary, according to Laura Beasely, statewide grants committee chair and a member of the board of directors.
 
 
 
The grant funding will support the production of a documentary on recovery efforts surrounding Hurricane Matthew. The film will provide an historical overview of the complex and lengthy disaster recovery process and a guide for communities recovering from future natural disasters. Longleaf Productions is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that produces videos and other media of cultural, historical, educational and environmental significance.
 
NCCF CEO Jennifer Tolle Whiteside said that the Foundation’s support continues to focus on helping to meet long-term recovery needs in eastern North Carolina. “We are confident that the NCCF Disaster Relief Fund is having an impact, thanks to the generosity of donors who gave to support eastern North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew,” she said.
