Description

Lenoir County seeks proposals from qualified consultants to evaluate the feasibility, structure, and
implications of consolidating four local, foundational nonprofit organizations under a single nonprofit
organizational framework. The organizations contemplated in this analysis include:

• Lenoir County Tourism Development Authority (TDA)
• Kinston–Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce (Chamber)
• Kinston Community Council for the Arts (KCCA)
• Downtown Kinston Revitalization (DK)

The conceptual merger would consolidate these entities under one nonprofit umbrella organization
governed by a consolidated board and led by a single executive director. Each organization would retain
its distinct mission, programmatic focus, and any legal, contractual, or financial restrictions, operating as
functional divisions or departments within the larger entity.

The intent of this exploration is to determine whether such a structure could increase operational
efficiency, reduce administrative duplication, strengthen financial sustainability, and amplify community
impact while preserving the core missions of each organization. This study is intended to provide an
objective analysis and does not presuppose consolidation as the preferred or required outcome.

The selected consultant will be expected to evaluate feasibility, assess organizational, governance, legal,
and financial implications, propose potential models for consolidation or partial consolidation, and
provide recommendations to the City of Kinston and Lenoir County regarding any direct local government
support that may be necessary to successfully implement and sustain a consolidated structure.
