The Community Foundation Martin – St. Lucie will work in partnership with local governments and other local funders to ensure an efficient process for organizations to request funding through a universal application process. The following funders in Martin County have joined together to establish a coordinated Coronavirus (COVID-19) Relief & Recovery application process:
Funding priorities include:
- Emergency food, shelter and other basic needs including cleaning supplies and services as needed
- Expansion of service capacity related to increased demand for direct services
- Access to health care services for uninsured and underinsured clients
- Technology and other resources to allow your organization to continue to provide services
*Applications can be accessed through this system. Funding will be made directly from one or more of the participating funders to the applicant agency. Final funding decisions and reporting requirements are exclusively the purview of the participating funder(s).
Each funder participating in the Consortium will individually allocate their own resources to the organizations and grants that fit within the funder’s guidelines and funding priorities.
The Consortium allows all funders to have access and to review all applications submitted through a universal application process. This collaboration allows funders to share data and information and encourages funding partnerships.
