Nonprofit Capital Grant Program
The Nonprofit Capital Grants program (NCG) is a new initiative designed to recognize the strains upon infrastructure within our local network of community agency partners which are affecting their service delivery to residents.
These American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funded capital project grants are for Fayette County 501(c)(3) nonprofits and are subject to federal reporting and spending requirements.
Agencies with established proven track records of performance that are located in and/or serve residents of Lexington-Fayette County are invited to apply for this competitive grant program.
The presentation from the May 11 Workshop Webinar is here. The Workshop Webinar recording may be viewed here. You may register to receive the Request for Proposal documents that were released Monday, May 16 at lexingtonky.ionwave.net.
