Goodyear accepting funding applications from nonprofits through June 15
Pre-application webinar Tuesday, May 26
Posted
Nonprofits interested in receiving funding from the city of Goodyear have until Monday, June 15 to apply.
The city has scheduled an optional pre-application webinar at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 26 for those wishing to review the application. Registration is required to join the meeting.
To be eligible for funds, an organization should benefit Goodyear residents, offer a service not duplicated by the city or another service provider and be able to track the number of residents it serves, according to city notice.
Applications may be submitted online by 5 p.m. June 15. They must include responses to a questionnaire, current board of directors, community funding, copy of the organization's 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS and W-9.
City staff will review applications for completeness and eligibility. A subcommittee of three Goodyear City Council members review submissions and make funding recommendations to the full council for approval in a regular meeting, and checks will be awarded in July.
Funding priorities include:
Expanding services available in the Goodyear Community that are designed to meet the needs of minority populations, people in (or at risk of being in) crisis, or the homeless
Fostering social and cultural cohesion in Goodyear
Innovative solutions to bring more mental health care services into Goodyear, particularly for youth
Innovative transportation solutions for Goodyear residents, particularly those that help residents meet their health care needs
Regional solutions that result in increased access and a greater variety of services available to Goodyear residents and the workforce
