In 2022 the Town of Mansfield allocated $350,000 of the American Recovery Program Act (ARPA) funds to assist non-profits that are providing valuable services to vulnerable populations within our community. The Town of Mansfield has opened a second Request For Proposals. Regional and local non-profits, providing valuable services to Mansfield residents may apply for the grant funds.
Applications must meet the following criteria:
• Grants awards will range from $5,000 to $25,000.
• Grant requests can include funding for capital improvements and one-time projects.
• Organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in order to be eligible.
• Organizations can only apply one time for this funding. If your organization previously received ARPA funding from the Town of Mansfield, you are not eligible to apply again.
