In 1999, The Golden LEAF Foundation began transforming North Carolina’s economy and bringing economic opportunities to its people. Twenty years since then, it goes without saying that the foundation has made quite the impact.
While their operations are widespread, Golden LEAF targets a lot of its efforts on the state’s less-developed rural areas.

The broadband initiative has granted North Carolinians access to education and job networks they didn’t have before, and agricultural aid has allowed for the diversification of the industry.
