Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s 2024 IRS filing states its mission as transforming donated vehicles into safe, reliable, presentable transportation for local financially disadvantaged residents at no cost to them. Its website describes donated cars being repaired and made roadworthy, with volunteer labor and donated or reduced-cost parts and services helping support the work.
Rolling Start NC provides vehicles to individuals and families, rather than describing these vehicle awards as a grant program for outside applicants. A 2024 filing reports that it presented 25 vehicles to local residents, valued at $62,912 including the original donors’ contributions. It also reports that another 37 vehicles were being refurbished.
Grantmaking
The IRS filing data lists no grants for 2023, 2024, or 2025. Separately, the organization’s 2024 filing describes 25 vehicles granted to individuals and families in the community, with a reported amount of $62,830. These vehicle awards are for program participants, not a grant program for outside applicants.
A 2021 tax-return document reports that Rolling Start NC refurbished and awarded 20 vehicles to individuals or families that year. The website also reports that Full Spectrum Farms Inc received $34 in 2020. Full Spectrum Farms describes its mission as serving adults with autism and their families through a farm community where people can live and work, pursue independence, and find an enriching environment.
The organization’s website reports receiving a Stronger Organizations Grant from Dogwood Health Trust in 2025 and an IMPACT Grant of $66,000 over three years from WNC Bridge Foundation beginning July 1, 2022. These were funds received by Rolling Start NC, not grants it gave.
The website says Jackson County residents in need of transportation may qualify. It describes a recipient-selection process handled by a volunteer group with social-services experience. Published criteria include being able to pay about $150 for title transfer, inspection, and registration; having or being able to obtain the state-required minimum vehicle insurance before transfer; and holding a valid North Carolina driver’s license.
