Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To drive community-led strategies promoting economic and community development for residents and businesses along the West Blvd Corridor.

The West Boulevard Neighborhood Coalition WBNC has been engaged in great work in the City of Charlotte NC on behalf of the residents and businesses in West Charlotte. Our Seeds for Change Urban Farm continues in its sixth year and thirteenth growing season producing fresh produce for community members at an affordable rate. Seeds for Change is implementing a regenerative farming model which supports and mimics the natural ecosystem of Charlotte's west side. Seeds for Change is both initiative and program in that the farm is staffed and supported by local high school age youth who learn agricultural entrepreneurial and life skills while employed at the Seeds for Change farm. We are working with local businesses and community organizations to promote the products grown on the farm to the greater Charlotte community including our honey product. We are also continuing our fight for food security through partnerships with the City of Charlotte Mecklenburg County Atrium Health the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte for the Three Sisters Market an innovative community-led cooperative food market.

Expenses $101,579 · Revenue $2,620
Community Development has been one of the biggest achievements of the WBNC in 2022. This year we broke ground to begin the construction of a 120 affordable rental unit development at West Boulevard and Elmin Street. The development is the result of a previously executed community benefits agreement and ground lease in collaboration with our partner organization the West Side Community Land Trust. After hearing from the community of the desire for community ownership opportunities associated with this project WSCLT negotiated on behalf of the community to purchase the land from the developer thus owning the land and instituting a long-term ground lease back to the developer. The development will allow senior residents along the West Boulevard corridor to age in place comfortably. Also we have continued to collaborate with anchor institutions in the greater Charlotte area to develop a master plan for the West Boulevard corridor that will model healthcare institution and community organization partnership for alignment of services and solutions.

Expenses $49,529
Capacity-building is another major milestone to celebrate. This year through a contract with the City of Charlotte we were able to hire a Farm Manager for the Seeds for Change Urban Farm. The farm manager Mason Trappio increased capacity to support farm operations. Previously the farm was completely run and managed by volunteers; however adding a designated farm manager allowed us to increase the Three Sisters' Farmers' Market operations to twice per week giving residents increased access to fresh produce in a food desert. Additionally farm production increased especially the honey. The farm produced 35 gallons of honey this year. Additionally through grant funding from one of our community partners the West Side Community Land Trust we were able to offer a stipend to a longtime West Boulevard resident to serve as our Neighborhood Ambassador. Through the Neighborhood Ambassador program the resident D'Asia Feaster received training on grassroots organizing and worked with the WBNC to support outreach and engagement efforts. D'Asia has been able to attend community meetings and events and support with tracking and managing resident engagement data that will be used to inform future programming.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
