FY26 Nonprofit Strategic Planning (NSP) Grant Program: On Tuesday November 18, 2025, the County Council unanimously passed Resolution 20-979 that appropriated $750,00 for the FY26 Nonprofit Strategic Planning (NSP) Grant Program. The goal of this Grant Program is to provide funding capacity building and technical assistance for nonprofits to pursue consolidation of services and preparation due to adverse Federal actions, with the specific deliverable of a strategic plan developed by the nonprofits that includes specific recommendations on how nonprofits and the County Government can meet those challenges. Award recipients that successfully develop and submit their strategic plans will automatically be considered for additional implementation resources from the existing Nonprofit Technical Assistance & Management Support (NTAMS) and Nonprofit Incubator pools of funding; as well as potential future appropriations. More information on the intent of this Grant Program can be found in the Council Packet and the November 18, 2025 hearing.
