HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — With additional people to serve due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Hillsborough County's nonprofits organizations that help those in need are now in need of help as well. While providing residents in need with essential COVID-19 pandemic-based services, many of these nonprofit organizations have struggled with revenue losses and unplanned costs. To help solve this problem, Hillsborough County has partnered with Community Foundation Tampa Bay to launch and administer an American Rescue Plan-funded Nonprofit Safety Net Program. Beginning Monday, Jan. 31, nonprofit agencies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic can apply to receive the support they need to continue serving local residents. Approved nonprofit agencies may use awarded financial assistance to offset revenue losses or cover incurred, unplanned costs resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no minimum revenue amount required to be considered for financial assistance under this program. Nonprofit organizations can find more information on eligibility and apply.
