MANATEE COUNTY, FL (Feb. 4, 2019) — Non-profit agencies that serve Manatee County residents have until March 1 to apply for Manatee County Children's Services funding, a voter-approved fund to help disadvantaged children and their families in the community. General funding is also available to help nonprofits that serve adults or provide other services to Manatee County.

Agency reps may apply and learn more about available funding by visiting www.mymanatee.org/agencyfunding

The new online application for Fiscal 19-20 is results-based. Each question has both guidance and examples within the application, readily available to applicants.

County Commissioners determine the amount available each year and funding is awarded based on a competitive basis. Programs that receive County funding are reimbursed for their programs, contingent upon the successful completion of the project, the results (human gain) and fully meeting the requirements of the investment agreement.
