Deadline: 19-Jul-21
The Madison Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Dane County COVID Recovery Grants to allow state and local governments to help nonprofits affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many nonprofits have faced reduced revenue and increased expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dane County has selected Madison Community Foundation to help address this by developing a $5 million grant program for local nonprofits who have experienced a financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Funding Information
- With 3,000 potential applicants in Dane County, grants are anticipated to range from $2,500 to $50,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations must be a federally designated 501(c)(3) public charity headquartered and operating within Dane County.
- Organization finances must have been adversely affected by the pandemic, resulting in an annual deficit for 2020. Examples of adverse impacts include reduced fundraising success compared to prior years, increased program expenses or extraordinary expenses related to COVID-19 safety, technology, programming or virtual working environment needs.
- The program is open to nonprofits of all sizes and focus areas.
- Special consideration will be given to nonprofits that did not receive funding under the Federal Paycheck Protection Program.
- Preference will be given to organizations that provide direct services (as opposed to fundraising agencies like PTOs).
- Organizations that are primarily engaged in lobbying or for religious activities are not eligible to apply.
