Funding Information
Grants will be awarded from a minimum of $250 to a maximum of $2,500. The funds should provide emergency assistance in paying for rent, car repair, utilities, medicine, food and other basic necessities. Disbursements from the grant should be made directly to the vendor providing the service or fulfilling the emergency need (i.e. utility company, landlord, pharmacy, grocery gift card) unless exceptional circumstances apply. The severity and urgency of the need to be addressed and the impact of the financial support on an individual’s or family’s ability to remain independent should be the determining consideration in the disbursement of funds. An organization may apply for a subsequent grant after sufficient documentation of disbursements made from a previous grant.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply, an organization must be a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the Internal Revenue Code, or a faith-based organization, and be able to provide evidence of that designation. Registration status with the Maryland Secretary of State must be Current. The organization must be located in and providing services for residents of Anne Arundel County. Eligible organizations must have a proven and well-established capacity to determine eligibility for urgent financial assistance, and a track record of ensuring that financial assistance is provided to families and individuals with the most need in Anne Arundel County. Eligible organizations must have a transparent and documented process for tracking the use of their financial assistance.
