The Schuylkill County Nonprofit COVID-19 Response Grant will provide assistance to local nonprofits to adopt safer operating procedures or mitigate financial hardship from a net economic loss resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic public health emergency.
In an effort to effectively respond to the challenges faced after the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic disruptions resulting from or exacerbated by the pandemic, the Schuylkill County Commissioners have established the Schuylkill County Nonprofit COVID-19 Relief Grant from funding through the America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to assist tax-exempt organizations under the Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(19) that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonprofits, which provide vital services to communities, have faced extreme economic and financial challenges as a direct result of the pandemic. Many nonprofits faced possible closure because of significant challenges in covering payroll, rent, and other operating expenses due to the pandemic.
