When families have challenges, we connect all children and their families to programs and resources that provide opportunities and hope; we work to strengthen children, connect families, and end child abuse in Onslow County.
The strongest pattern in Onslow County Partnership for Children’s recent grantmaking is support for early childhood systems, with repeated multi-year funding for NC Pre-K, Early Head Start, quality improvement, and child care subsidy programs in Onslow County. The organization’s largest grants in the file go to ELA Kidsnet Holdings LLC, including $3,286,765 in 2025 and $3,107,356 in 2024, both tied to combinations of school readiness, quality enhancement, NC Pre-K, and Early Head Start. That same program structure appears across awards to local providers and public school partners, showing a funder that works through designated service sites rather than one-off charitable gifts. Onslow County Schools received $1,171,430 in 2025 for NCPK, following a $1,005,060 award in 2024 for the same program. Other significant grants support child care centers serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including Abundance of Love & Learning in Jacksonville and New Beginnings Child Care in Richlands. The foundation also connects funding to child advocacy and family support through its named programs and capital efforts, including One Place’s SECU HOPE Center and related child advocacy center work.
In early childhood education, the foundation funds both school-based and center-based delivery. Onslow County Schools received $1,171,430 in 2025 for NCPK, while Sneads Ferry Quality CC II received $305,784 in 2025 for NCPK. The same structure extends to private providers: Childcare Network Inc #80 in Jacksonville was funded $192,881 in 2024 for QEI/NCPK and $182,583 in 2025 for QEI/NCPK. Infant and toddler services are also visible in the Early Head Start Child Care Partnership, including $258,269 in 2025 to Abundance of Love & Learning for QEI/NCPK/EHS. Family support and child welfare appear through One Place’s SECU HOPE Center capital campaign, and child advocacy is also linked to the Oak & Smoke fundraiser for the One Place Child Advocacy Center.
Typical grant size is fairly broad, with a p25 of $34,500, a median of $86,925, and a p75 of $198,110. The pattern is recurring rather than one-time: the same providers and school partners appear in multiple years, often with related program codes that shift across NC Pre-K, QEI, subsidy, Shape NC/PreK, and Early Head Start. The foundation is a local funder, and the recipient base in the grants file is entirely in North Carolina. Its grantmaking is program-restricted and partnership-based, routed through designated early childhood and child-focused service channels rather than individual awards.
