The Gwinnett County Government recently selected 65 nonprofits to distribute $4.95 million in Nonprofit Capacity Building Grant funding to.
The funds are provided to Gwinnett County by the United States Department of the Treasury through the American Rescue Plan Act. The grants will be used to aid non-profits in the area to enhance their impact within the community.
“Nonprofits do vital work in Gwinnett to address the unique and individual needs of our diverse community,” Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, said in a release. “We're proud to use ARPA dollars to support these 65 organizations, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make with access to additional resources.”
Gwinnett will manage and distribute the combined total in grant awards, providing the selected nonprofits with either capital support or operational support to assist in program enhancements and organizational growth.
Capital support focuses on projects that improve capacity by fulfilling a capital need such as equipment, software solutions and vehicles, according to the county. Operational support focuses on the provision of technical assistance and learning modules to improve the nonprofits’ ability to provide necessary services and achieve their goals.
