Overview:
Non-Profit Relief Grant
In response to the hardships facing Mendocino County as a result of the economic and social consequences of this emergency, the Community Foundation is offering the Non-Profit Relief Grant program to mitigate some of the unique difficulties faced by the non-profit sector in Mendocino County. The Community Foundation anticipates holding two rounds of funding at this time. Funds are provided by the COVID-19 Non-Profit Relief Fund, a fund of the Community Foundation of Mendocino County.
Priorities and Types of Funding
Consideration is given to organizations who meet the following criteria:
- Have a demonstrated reduction in funding and/or increased demand for services due to impacts from COVID-19;
- Have a plan for adapting or maintaining services now or in the future including adherence to applicable county or state guidance on re-opening;
- Have demonstrated a high degree of benefit to the general public or a broad sub-population (e.g., youth, elderly) over time; and,
- Have the energy and organizational capacity to adapt and continue to have a sustainable, long-term influence in the community.
Priority will be given to organizations who are still unable to open due to COVID-19 restrictions, or who have faced ongoing hardship due to high fixed operating costs and decreased revenues.
Additional guidelines can be found here.

Preferences:
- Additional preference will be given to organizations who have not received a Paycheck Protection Program loan.
