Details:
The City of York has allocated a portion of its ARPA funds toward the negative economic recovery for eligible non-profits (beneficiaries) operating within the City. The grants will assist these nonprofits in recovering from the impacts so they may continue to effectively and efficiently provide ongoing services to the York community.
Beneficiaries are entities that receive funds for the purpose of directly benefitting from the funds. For this program, eligible non-profit entities will apply as beneficiaries. They will not be subject to the same monitoring and reporting requirements as a recipient or subrecipient of funds.
In accordance with the City of York ARPA mission, the City is seeking applications from Non-Profit organizations that have experienced negative economic impacts due to the pandemic and are able to clearly demonstrate and provide evidence of that impact and/or financial hardship. Financial impacts and hardships may include, but are not limited to, decreased revenue (e.g., from donations and fees), increased financial insecurity, increased costs (e.g., uncompensated increases in service need directly related to the pandemic), reduced capacity to weather financial hardship, and/or challenges covering rent, mortgage, or other operating costs.
