Financial aid is available to local non-profits

To the Times:

Thanks to our new county council, Delaware County is currently the only county in the region that is deploying their small business funding to include non-profits. They established the Delco Strong 2 Non-Profit Fund with $4 million recently, recognizing that non-profits don’t just provide valuable services, but are employers with many small businesses depending on them for their livelihood. We need them to survive through the pandemic and economic downturn if we are to fully recover.

If you work or volunteer for, or donate to, a non-profit with annual revenue less than $9 million and with a Delaware County address listed on the first page of the IRS 990 tax filing, please let that non-profit’s leadership
