Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Based on significant demand and with accelerated application review and contracting systems in place, DEDO continues to actively provide grant assistance up to a maximum of $15,000 per grantee to eligible Denver nonprofit organizations to alleviate impacts resulting from COVID-19. This rapid-response funding program is supporting nonprofits in Denver to continue critical programs and services for residents across a spectrum of needs. CNDC receives up to 5% of the program cost for its services, including financial review, issuing and disbursing grant funds, and following up with grantees as needed.
Nonprofit applicants are reviewed according to the following criteria:
• Disruption of services and programs;
• Increased demands;
• Decreased donations; and
• New or expanded services in response to COVID-19.
To make this grant program as inclusive, diverse, and equitable as possible, priority is being given to nonprofits that:
• Operate in vulnerable communities;
• Have staff and board members representative of the communities they serve;
• May not have access to traditional public funding; and
• May provide programs and/or support directly related to COVID-19 relief.
This grant program seeks to ensure Denver residents have access to the essential support and services that nonprofit organizations provide to communities throughout the city. DEDO oversees program implementation and works closely with CNDC throughout the grant cycle.
With this proposed contract amendment/extension, and accounting for administrative costs, the program is expected to serve approximately 340 local nonprofits with one-time individual grants capped at $15,000 through December 31, 2020.
The initial two rounds for this grant program resulted in 148 nonprofit organizations receiving $1,556,119 in funds.
Round 3 for this grant closed on September 11, 2020 at 4:59 p.m. and awardees will be notified on October 2, 2020.
