Grant recipients had to meet several specific criteria to receive the funding, including an official 501(c)(3) status, be an organization in good standing, and have annual revenue under $300,000. According to county officials, the funds were distributed equally among the board’s six districts.
District 5 County Board member Dawn DeSart said the grant allocations were well deserved.
“All we did, as board members, was give them money,” DeSart said. “They’re out in the community, every single day, doing the work. Whatever it is, they’re putting in the work, as volunteers.”
Fellow District 5 County Board member Sadia Covert also had high words of praise for the award recipients at the recent meeting.
“I’m really proud of them, and happy to support them,” Covert said. “I am hoping we can have another program like this again. I want to be able to continue helping these wonderful nonprofits in our area.”
