Red Ridge, NC Our programs, microbusinesses & partners create a more just, equitable & sustainable world

RRNC is a start-up Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) founded in 2016 in Saxapahaw, NC that values creativity, transparency, sustainability, local networking, and open mindedness. The main Strategic Business Units (SBUs) of the organization are made of RRNCPrograms and RRNCMicrobusinesses that focus on engagement, education, and employment in our community to create strategic impact and lasting c

hange. RRNC programs and microbusinesses both support and are in turn supported by RRNCPartners, who work in unison with RRNC to further their common causes and ultimately create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. Individual programs and microbusinesses function as independent SBUs within the overarching organization. While RRNC programs and microbusinesses function as independent SBUs, they have the unique ability to draw upon a strong local reputation developed over 25+ years of community organizing, and a broad base of expertise, support, and resources. As each new SBU is launched, it is built upon pre-existing deep community connections/relationships and existing business expertise, with the ability to function in a highly economical environment as they share basic resources. This means each SBU can “hit the ground running,” while minimizing costs and potential risks as new opportunities are explored by dipping a toe in the water. This unique option to try out new SBUs, prior to full launch, means that RRNC resources are not committed or squandered prior to exploring proof of concept. In addition, RRNC’s documented savvy with gorilla marketing has led the organization to create SBUs that have proven high value to the community, incorporating only a bit of elbow grease with little to no financial commitment.
