Sarasota County Health and Human Services is requesting input regarding potential distribution of U.S. Treasury Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) monies to local non-profit agencies. As part of that process, Sarasota County is offering two virtual training assistance sessions to help guide local non-profits with identifying and documenting their need for relief funding due to COVID-19 at 3:00pm-4:00pm. on Thursday, July 30 and again from 10:00am-11:00am on Friday July, 31.

The surveys can be completed electronically or by printing and completing a hard copy. The funding survey deadline is 11:00am Thursday, August 6th. Registration is required for these virtual session by calling 941-861-2877, or by sending an email to mswilliams@scgov.net. 

According to Health and Human Services Manager Wayne Applebee, local non-profit agencies could be eligible to be reimbursed for expenses under the Food, Water and Shelter category. "Like everyone else, non-profit agencies have incurred expenditures during their responses to COVID-19. This is an opportunity for them to possibly defray some of those costs," Applebee added.
