County Executive Marc Elrich’s FY23 budget contains unprecedented support for the County’s nonprofit organizations. The budget includes a 6% inflationary increase in nonprofit contracts in all departments, including Community Grants. This is the first time an inflationary increase has extended to all nonprofit contracts, and is by far the largest increase in memory.
Other items of note in the County Executive’s recommended budget:
- $2.3 million in 46 programs shifted from Community Grants to base budget contracts.
- $8.3 million in Community Grants awarded.
- $2 million in new grant programs to be administered by the Office of Grants Management in FY23.
- $3 million in Cost Sharing Capital Grants
The budget also includes the new Office of Grants Management to oversee Community Grants, and an Office of Food Resiliency.
