United Way-SJC is now accepting applications for the St. Johns County/United Way-SJC Nonprofit Human Services Grant Project, which will provide grants to qualifying St. Johns County nonprofit organizations to deliver direct human services to eligible beneficiaries. The project must respond to public health or negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This funding has the potential to be transformative for our community, and I couldn’t think of a better group to assist than the nonprofit organizations already doing the hard work to make St. Johns County a better place for everyone,” said Chairperson Henry Dean, District 5 Commissioner.
Funds for this program are made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and allocations from Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). Eligible agencies must be qualified to receive federal funds; have offered services to St. Johns County residents; have a service location in the county; and can demonstrate the ability to deliver the proposed project.
"United Way of St. Johns County is pleased to be partnering with the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners to help distribute these funds into the community," said Joe Pickens, United Way-SJC Board chair. "We encourage interested parties to thoroughly explore the process so that these funds may have the greatest possible impact."
