Six million dollars worth of American Rescue Plan Funding is now available to nonprofits in Monroe County who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualified nonprofits who lost money can apply as long as they are registered with the New York Charities Bureau and operate in the county.

The county says the $6 million grant fund is part of a $25 million ARPA package passed by the Monroe County Legislature on Aug. 13.

“As our community continues to recover from the pandemic, many of our non-profits need support in meeting the increasing demand for essential services. Direct operating aid for these organizations is vital and will provide increased financial stability as they continue serving the needs of our residents,” Monroe County Executive Bello said in a statement. “Thank you to the Monroe County Legislature for unanimously supporting this effort to help us Bring Monroe Back stronger than ever. A special thank you to Congressman Joe Morelle and Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand for securing these transformative ARPA funds. ”

You can apply online on the county website. Applications are due on Sept. 13.
