COLUMBUS, Ind. – Bartholomew County and the City of Columbus will soon distribute revenue replacement funding to local nonprofits who were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 public health emergency, relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year.
The U.S. Government provided the funds as part of the American Rescue Plan to the county and city in May 2021. The money is to be appropriated only for Department of Treasury-specified uses and under its specific guidelines.
Applicants must have been headquartered within Bartholomew County for at least five years and be a 501(c)3 agency in good standing. Annual operating expenses must not exceed $2 million and the agency must be able to demonstrate a detrimental impact as a result of the pandemic.
Applications will be available beginning this Wednesday, September 1 at both the city and county websites. The deadline for completed applications and supporting documentation is September 30.
