The Foundation’s grant agreement with the North Carolina Pandemic Recovery Office requires that
Federal funding received to be disbursed to an eligible subrecipient or contractor to support the
North Carolina COVID-19 Rapid Recovery Loan Program. The grant agreement allows the program to
make loans to the latest date allowed by Federal law, which was December 31, 2021. As loan
payments are made by the borrowers and collected by the Foundation’s sole subrecipient, the
Foundation is then required to return the net loan funds back to the North Carolina Pandemic
Recovery Office beginning on the date the authority to award new loans ceases and every six months
thereafter. In July 2022, the North Carolina General Assembly amended the legislation to allow the
Foundation to recapture an amount equal to the amount of capital that the Foundation originally
contributed to the program ($15 million) as a matching requirement, then any subsequent net loan
funds will be remitted to the North Carolina Pandemic Recovery Office. The Foundation collected
and recaptured contributed capital of $11,392,002 in net loan funds during the year ended June 30,
2023.
Total North Carolina COVID-19 Rapid Recovery Loan Program expenditures were as follows:
Year Ended June 30, 2023 Amount
Outstanding Coronavirus Relief Fund loan balance at June 30, 2022 $ 77,201,590
Value of new loans made or received -
Interest subsidy, cash, or other administrative cost allowances received -
Total expenditures of Federal awards $ 77,201,590
The total Coronavirus Relief Fund loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023 was $65,925,799. The
Coronavirus Relief Fund loans outstanding throughout the year ended June 30, 2023 were not due
to the Foundation, but rather these loans are due from the borrowers to the lenders.
