Funding Opportunties

NEW The IRS is issuing Economic Impact Payments to every eligible American.

Rural Forward NC has shared a grant opportunity for rural, grassroots organizations addressing both the new and exacerbated challenges their communities face due to COVID19. Grants of either $5,000 or $10,000 are offered to support the rapid response efforts. Learn more and apply: https://www.conservationfund.org/our-work/resourceful-communities/covid-19-resources. Questions? smallgrants@conservationfund.org
The IRS is issuing Economic Impact Payments to every eligible American. We need your help to reach individuals who do not normally file because they do not have enough income that requires them to file. This includes the homeless, unbanked, certain seniors, and some limited English-proficient individuals who will need to provide information to the IRS to get their Economic Impact Payment. If possible, those individuals can use the IRS free online tool to sign up to get an Economic Impact Payment: www.irs.gov/nonfilereip
Some individuals may not have internet capability, a bank account, or a permanent address. These citizens may need additional assistance claiming their Economic Impact Payment. Call 211 for assistance.
Payments are Automatic for Many Federal Beneficiaries – SSA, SSI, RRB, and VA: For those receiving Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits (SSDI), Railroad Retirement benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Veterans Affairs benefits who didn’t file a tax return in the last two years, no action is needed; they will automatically receive their $1,200 payment.

NEW Locally-Administered FEMA Funding Opportunity for Health Service Organizations

The Emergency Food and Shelter Program [fema.gov] (EFSP) National Board—chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with representatives from a wide range of organizations including the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, USA, and United Way Worldwide—has awarded $320 million of CARES Act and annually appropriated funding to qualifying local jurisdictions (counties and cities) across the country to support COVID-19 impacted communities through the provision of food, shelter and supportive services. A Local Board in each jurisdiction will award funding to eligible HSOs based on submitted applications.

To apply, organizations must submit an application to the Local Board in their community, which can be found on the EFSP National Board “Funded Organization” search [efsp.unitedway.org] page. North Carolina jurisdictions received $5.7 million total. To review how much funding each Local Board in North Carolina received, see these EFSP allocations [efsp.unitedway.org].
Application deadlines will vary, but likely occur in the next 1-2 weeks, as Local Boards must submit information about the applications they received to the National Board by 5/29/20.
Through this opportunity, organizations may receive funds to provide food, shelter and supportive services, including but not limited to:
- Food services, such as congregate meals or groceries
- Lodging in a mass shelter, or in a hotel/motel or other off-site shelter facility limited to 30-days assistance per individual or household
- One month rent or mortgage assistance to prevent eviction or foreclosure
- Utility assistance for one month of service for gas, electric, and water service
- Supplies, including but not limited to cleaning supplies, and small equipment essential to feed or shelter people, not exceeding $300 per item
- Administrative funding, if approved by the Local Board, to offset costs to administer the program.
