A total of $300,000 of funding is available. The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020.
Individual grant awards will be available in amounts between $5,000 and $25,000. Non-profits must be tax-exempt organizations pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Non-profit organizations with a maximum number of up to 30 full-time equivalent employees (FTE) would be eligible.
