The City of York is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the Nonprofit Economic Recovery Grant Program. This program was funded by the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). It aimed to provide financial support to eligible 501(c)3 and 501(c)19 nonprofit organizations. The organizations below were found to have faced negative economic hardship resulting from or exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health emergency. The program provides grant funding to the extent beneficiaries were able to demonstrate and provide evidence of their negative economic impact through an application process. Grants were capped at $45,000. These funds are intended to help these nonprofits financially recover so they may continue to serve the York community.
After a thorough review process, the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) will award grants to (30) nonprofit beneficiaries, totaling $1,148,681.00. The beneficiaries represent diverse sectors and services, including arts and culture, education, health and human services, and youth development. The complete list of beneficiaries is available below.
The City of York appreciates the significant contributions made by nonprofits to improve the quality of life and well-being of its residents, particularly during these difficult times. The city congratulates the second-round winners. For more information about the program, please visit www.yorkcity.org/grants.
