County: Ulster County (NY)
Type of the Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/06/2022

Details:
The goal of these funds is to provide vital federal support to state, local, and tribal governments as they address the negative health and economic impacts of COVID-19 in their communities.
This grant provides two application pathways to apply for funding – a Recovery application and a Resilience application.
- RECOVERY APPLICATIONS: This application is for non-profits in need of economic assistance for their organizations to recover from the financial impacts of the pandemic. This application may be utilized to apply for:
- Loss of organization revenue, which can include overall declines in revenue or specific losses such as fundraising events that they are unable to be held due to COVID-19 precautions.
- For overall declines in revenue, applicants will need to show the most recent complete fiscal year of revenue prior to the COVID-19 public health emergency (January 27, 2020), and then subsequent annual revenues until the date of application.
- Rent, mortgage, utility, or overhead costs that have gone unpaid since January 27, 2020.
- Payroll and benefit costs that have gone unmet after March 3, 2021. Examples include rehiring laid-off staff, and reinstating any cut to benefits or pay.
- RESILIENCE APPLICATIONS: This application is for non-profits who need one-time funding to boost capacity to meet one or more areas of specific community service needs as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency. This application may be utilized to apply for:
- Funding to meet one or more of the expenditure categories. Applications should detail how the chosen expenditure category, or categories, have increased as a result of COVID-19 and include any pertinent data that demonstrates this increase in need.
