Lumber River United Way/Robeson County Government Nonprofit Grant Application

Lumber River United Way is excited to announce a partnership with Robeson County Government to disseminate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to nonprofit organizations. Robeson County Government will open up grant applications to disperse $1 million of its $25 million American Rescue Plan Act funds to nonprofit organizations. The funds are intended to provide a much-needed boost to nonprofits that experienced a turbulent two years, during which the need in the community outpaced donations. Nonprofits must be able to demonstrate financial hardship (revenue decrease and/or expense increase) due to COVID-19.

Lumber River United Way will oversee the distribution of the money which is expected to be done expediently and equitably. Grants will range from $10,000 to $50,000. Nonprofits may submit applications on United Way’s website through May 20. The web form can be found on United Way’s website in the footer: COMMUNITY FORCE.

Please read through the requirements, areas of funding, and scoring criteria carefully.  Print and review the application before you start the application since you will not be able to save it as you go.

The application must be completed and submitted in one session. Incomplete applications will not be considered. ARPA funds are not intended to provide start-up or seed monies for new nonprofits or programs. Funding for this project was provided by the American Rescue Plan Act and the US Department of the Treasury through Robeson County Government with assistance of the United Way.

Applicants that want additional information should contact Tate Johnson at tjohnson@lumberriveruw.org or 910-739-4249 ext 303.
