Town Of South Kingstown: Funding For Local Nonprofits

Press release from the Town of South Kingstown:

Each year the Town of South Kingstown provides grants to human service organizations and outside agencies that provide a wide range of services and support initiatives that benefit residents of South Kingstown. Human service organizations are locally based non-profit agencies that support individuals who are low income, elderly, living with disabilities, victims of abuse, or experiencing life challenges. Agencies that typically receive funds include human service organizations, health clinics, senior citizen programs, congregate meal centers, low-income housing partnerships, domestic violence resource centers, food pantries, and similar organizations that are supported in whole, or in part, by public and/or donated funds. Outside Agencies are local non-profit organizations that engage in projects and initiatives that positively impact members of the South Kingstown community. Agencies that typically receive outside agency funds include neighborhood and/or village associations, veterans’ groups, business support organizations, preservation groups, museums, and similar entities that are supported in whole, or in part, by public and/or donated funds.

This year the Town of South Kingstown intends to allocate approximately $180,000 in the fiscal year 2025 operating budget to fund the human service and outside agency grant program. Receipt of funding in prior years does not guarantee funding in the current grant round. Grants are competitive and awarded by the Town Council at their sole discretion based on a review of all complete applications. Organizations interested in applying for funding under this program are required to complete and submit the Human Service & Outside Agency FY 2025 Grant Funding Request
