The DeKalb County Human Services Department’s 2019 Grant Program will support 58 local nonprofits and provide approximately $851,000 in funding, according to a press release.
The Human Services Grant Program is designed to provide supplemental funding to nonprofit organizations serving their communities. Service areas that will be addressed in this grant cycle include youth and family development, crisis intervention and prevention, homelessness and supporting individuals with disabilities.
The grant program uses a competitive evaluation process to identify grantees. Grant awards range from $10,000-$25,000 and at least half of the awarded amount must be used for programming.
Funding was approved by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners. Resources for these grants originate from two areas: $617,808 from the County’s General Fund and $233,402 from a Victims Assistance Fund.
