Santa Cruz County, Arizona is dedicating approximately $500,000 of its federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Direct Assistance for Local Governments funding toward a nonprofit competitive grants program. The goal is to help the local 501c3 and 501c6 nonprofit community expand their services and reach so that Santa Cruz County employers, employees, and artists (ages 18 and older) can improve their ability to build and preserve financial wealth.
The Santa Cruz County Nonprofit Grants for Community Financial Capacity will provide grants to nonprofits to offer classes, training and services for employers and employees so they can mitigate the negative economic impacts experienced from the pandemic. Organizations providing support services for local entrepreneurs (including artists), community members and small businesses are welcome. The program intent is to help persons in Santa Cruz County build a financial cushion or develop their skills to improve their long-term financial position.
