Cumberland County staff will host an information session for nonprofit organizations interested in applying for assistance through the County’s revised Nonprofit Fiscal Recovery Assistant Program. The information session will be held virtually today, April 19 at 6:30 p.m.

The Cumberland County Nonprofit Fiscal Recovery Assistance Program allows nonprofit organizations who perform a “public purpose” (programs concerned with employment, economic development, crime prevention, childcare, health, drug abuse, education, and welfare needs of persons of low to moderate income) to apply for up to $50,000 in direct assistance to reimburse organization expenses related to:

The program has been updated to remove the previous eligibility requirement that nonprofits retain low-to-moderate income full-time equivalent employees. The change was made by the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners to make the program less restrictive and more accessible to the County’s nonprofit organizations. Any nonprofit that has previously applied to the program does not need to reapply as all applications received prior to the change will be reviewed using the revised eligibility criteria.

The deadline to apply is May 7, 2023.

The information session will include a presentation followed by a question-and-answer period with County staff. The virtual meeting will be recorded and posted to the County’s website at cumberlandcountync.gov/arp-nonprofit where it can be viewed following the live session. An updated application will also become available immediately following the session.

Interested nonprofits may register for the virtual information session at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6331496357652750677. Once registered, attendees should receive a confirmation email containing instructions for joining the webinar.

Anyone with questions should contact the County’s American Rescue Plan team at arpsmb@cumberlandcountync.gov. For more information on the ARP Committee and Cumberland County’s ARP programs, visit cumberlandcountync.gov/americanrescueplan.
