One Program, Different Names\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMPACTT-NC is a statewide program, but in a few locations our work is known under a different name.\u00a0In Johnston County, IMPACTT-NC\u2019s service is known\u00a0as \u201cCATCH-Johnston\u201d.\u00a0Our work in Johnston County\u00a0originally\u00a0launched in 2023, funded by The Duke Endowment.\u00a0As our statewide IMPACTT-NC program grew, it made sense to bring CATCH-Johnston under the IMPACTT-NC program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Granville County, IMPACTT-NC has partnered with Granville Vance Public Health and Granville County Schools to form a collaboration known as \u201cUNC-GIFTS.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the names are different in these locations, the commitment to excellence\u00a0remains\u00a0the same.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

IMPACTT-NC\u00a0<\/span>initial<\/span>\u00a0funding was provided by the\u00a0<\/span>SECU Foundation. The Johnston County program, CATCH-Johnston,\u00a0<\/span>was made possible by\u00a0<\/span>initial<\/span>\u00a0funding from<\/span>\u00a0The Duke Endowment.\u00a0<\/span>Additional<\/span>\u00a0support from the Bodie Foundation and Margaret and Edward Holmes<\/span>. IMPACTT-NC is grateful for current funding from The Duke Endowment, The Leon Levine Foundation, Camber Foundation, and private donors.
