Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation has launched a special grant program to help sustain certain essential services provided by nonprofit organizations affected by government funding cuts.
The Board of Directors of the Community Foundation recently approved this new grant program to help sustain essential services related to food, shelter and community risk prevention provided to people and communities in the North Platte region.
Federally-recognized tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and public government organizations that provide specified essential services are eligible to apply.
Sustaining Essential Services Grants will be made only to eligible organizations that have experienced significant cuts in government funding for essential services related to food, shelter and community risk prevention.
Sustaining Essential Services Grants will largely be funded from the Response and Recovery Fund and available funds are limited. Grant awards may be made for amounts less than requested.
Applications for Sustaining Essential Services Grants will be considered for grants periodically with timeliness a consideration. This grant program is expected to be temporary.
Eligible organizations are invited to learn more and apply for funding through our online grant portal.
