The Support Center
GroupThe organization was formerly known as the North Carolina Minority Support Center. The Support Center works with community development credit unions to promote economic development by providing loans and other programs. The Support Center also supports radical/liberal political organizations, as it is a member organization of all the state’s political leftist networks – including Blueprint NC. Blueprint NC is the group that gained infamy with their strategy memo that directed their members to “eviscerate, mitigate, litigate, cogitate and agitate” the state’s leadership in 2013.
In fact in 2011-12, the Support Center received almost 90 percent of its grant money from North Carolina’s biggest funder of radical and liberal organizations, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation.
