Information via the town of Trumbull

TRUMBULL, CT — First Selectman Vicki Tesoro announced this week the town will use ARPA funding to provide grants to community-based organizations and nonprofits that serve Trumbull residents with eligible programs, services and capital investments.

In a news release provided by the town, Tesoro said funding was allocated to be used to support local nonprofits by the Board of Finance and Town Council.

Organizations must be a currently established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization legally allowed to operate within the state of Connecticut or a community-based organization with a fiscal sponsor, according to Tesoro.

Funding is to be used exclusively for projects, programs, and services within the town of Trumbull that "support the COVID-19 public health and economic response by addressing COVID-19 and its impact on public health as well as addressing economic harms to households, small businesses, nonprofits, impacted industries, and the public sector," Tesoro said.

Applicant organizations must have a demonstrable presence in the town of Trumbull, according to Tesoro.

Applications are available on the town website and must be received by Aug. 8, 2024 at 5 p.m. The maximum grant under the program is $20,000, but requesting the maximum amount does not guarantee that it will be awarded, Tesoro said.
