A generous anonymous donor has established the Manatee County COVID-19 Community Response Fund to provide support to local nonprofit organizations in this time of change, uncertainty and opportunity to help our community.

Supported organizations will meet the following criteria:

• Registered with the IRS as a 501c3 public charity
• Deliver health or human service-related program
• Provide a clear understanding of how requested support impacts would impact residents of Manatee County
• Able to share a clear explanation of the impact COVID-19 has had or is expected to have on the organization’s operations or programs and the associated costs

Our team is reviewing the results of a local nonprofit survey distributed in partnership with local foundations to gather information about nonprofit needs that have developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please contact us at grants@ManateeCF.org if you have questions or would like to discuss ways we could support you.
