summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Every fiscal year, staff recommends that the City Commission fund various nonprofit organizations as part of the Community Partnerships Program. Each nonprofit organization must serve a valid public purpose and provide a service(s) beneficial to the City of Pompano Beach residents. In addition, the City is currently unable to offer such services independently. Thus, the City is expanding the services provided to the residents through these organizations.
The nonprofit organizations work to achieve the City’s goals and objectives with programs or services that fall within the following funding priorities: Workforce Excellence, Education, Behavioral Health, Senior Services, Community Events, and Preserving Cultural Heritage.
The City of Pompano Beach receives many more requests than it can support. When a request is denied, it does not imply that the applicant’s program is not vital. It may mean that the request does not fall within our funding priorities/giving guidelines or that all charitable funds for the year have been allocated.
