Deadline: 23-Nov-20
Oakland County has announced the Non-Profit COVID-19 Economic Impact Grant Program to provide support to the many Non-Profits residing in Oakland County, who serve the more vulnerable citizens.
The grant is designed to provide financial relief to Oakland County non-profits who have suffered revenue loss or increased expenditures attributed to COVID-19, which has resulted in a reduction in net income in 2020.
Non-profits normally rely on various fundraising activities to provide the necessary funds needed to not only provide assistance but to cover administrative costs as well. To control the spread of COVID-19, social distancing guidelines were implemented in March 2019 which caused the cancellation of the vast majority of those events, depriving the agencies of previously budgeted funds.
The Oakland Together Non-Profit COVID-19 Economic Impact grant will provide grants that non-profits can use as a replacement for net income losses in 2020.
