As a Subchapter S Corporation, the organization focuses on community development, social equity, and environmental justice initiatives. While not holding a federal contract vehicle, MDC Inc. has been active in receiving federal grant awards that support community empowerment, particularly for marginalized populations.

MDC Inc. has received significant federal grant awards primarily from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with its most recent substantial award being a $3,103,648 Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grant. This three-year project aims to enhance Latine communities' participation in government decision-making processes related to climate change and environmental justice in Duplin and surrounding North Carolina counties. The organization has also been involved in sub-grant work with North Carolina State University, including supporting the NC Inclusive Disaster Recovery Network (NCIDR), which facilitates collaborative disaster recovery strategies across public, private, non-profit, and faith organizations. Their work encompasses capacity building, community organizing, research on environmental justice, developing engagement mechanisms between community members and government entities, and creating multi-racial, multi-generational advocacy coalitions. Through these grants, MDC Inc. provides technical assistance, conducts research, develops educational curricula, organizes learning cohorts, and supports community-led equity action plans, with a strong emphasis on connecting marginalized communities to decision-making processes and resources.
