BUTTE COUNTY ANNOUNCES GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IMPACTED
BY COVID-19
Butte County, CA--Community Organizations throughout Butte County face extreme challenges as a
result of the impacts of COVID-19. In an effort to ease these challenges, the Butte County Board of
Supervisors approved the Butte Non-Profit Stabilization Program II, which will provide up to $950,000 in
grants to assist non-profit organizations that have suffered financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Butte Non-Profit Stabilization Program II will provide a maximum of $49,999 one-time grant awards
to non-profit organizations located within Butte County and who serve Butte County residents. These
grant funds will assist Butte County non-profit organizations with costs associated with the impacts of
business closures, the costs associated with adherence to local requirements for safe business re-
openings, and the financial impacts because of COVID-19.
The Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services will choose grantees via lottery from a
pool of applicants determined to be eligible local non-profit organizations after a four-week open
application window.
