Funding Requirements
Harford County is an entitlement jurisdiction, which means it receives an annual allocation.

The funds are dispersed annually to various non-profit organizations throughout Harford County and are not available to individuals directly.
Eligibility Criteria
Private, nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, and in some cases for-profit entities, may be eligible to receive funding under these programs. All proposed programs/projects must meet applicable federal regulations. All selected programs/projects are subject to the availability of funding and Harford County’s budget review process. Harford County maintains the right to reject or accept proposals to fund or not to fund, or to reduce the amount of funding requested.
