The City of Goodyear is throwing a financial lifeline to local nonprofits in need with their Community Funding Program, opening its arms to applications seeking cash injections for their charitable activities. These nonprofits, which span a spectrum of services including aiding families, supporting troubled teens, and harboring those fleeing from domestic violence, are eligible to get a piece of the city's generous budget.
Last year, the funding program dispersed over $160,000 among 22 nonprofits, one of which being the Southwest Valley Family YMCA, with the funds earmarked for assistance programs aimed at supporting low-and/or fixed income Goodyear dwellers in getting childcare, learning resources, and meals and the YMCA was able to extend its essential services thanks to the inflow of capital from the city's grant.
Nonprofits eager to get their share of this year's larger $214,400 pot have until April 30 to apply, according to the official Goodyear website. The program's gates are open exclusively to those holding a 501c3 status that can effectively monitor and detail their outreach to Goodyear's residents.
For those looking to learn more about the Community Funding Program or navigate the application process, additional details and contact options are available at goodyearaz.gov/communityfunding, via email at [email protected], or by phone at 623-882-7804, where city representatives can assist applicants in enhancing their chances of securing funds for their noble causes and contribute to the continued wellbeing of the Goodyear community.
