Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) presented checks to 41 nonprofit organizations awarded grants between $10,000 and $50,000 for programs that address critical needs identified in CFAAC’s 2022 Community Needs Assessment Report Poverty Amidst Plenty VII: Moving Forward Together during an event held at Maryland Hall.
Grants were supported by $1 million in Federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding awarded by the Pittman administration. A CFAAC Grants Selection Committee worked to review applications submitted by nonprofits that offered solutions to the needs and gaps in services identified in the Needs Assessment, and who sustained a loss of income/revenue and/or an increase of programming or expenses due to COVID-19’s impact on their operations and the communities they serve.
