The City of Georgetown is now accepting applications from eligible nonprofit agencies for Strategic Partnerships for Community Services grant funding for the city’s 2020-21 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, a May 6 news release said.

“We are excited to provide this opportunity to partner with our local nonprofits to help meet needs in our community,” Mayor Dale Ross said in the release. “Now more than ever, we are aware of the critical role they play in providing a safety net of support for our residents.”

Application forms and supplemental materials should be filled out and submitted no later than 5 p.m. on June 1.
