Summary Explanation/Background:
Every fiscal year the City of Pompano Beach awards funding to nonprofit organizations that provide services to our residents that the City does not provide. Funding is awarded through the Annual Nonprofit Sponsorship Process. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the programming for fiscal year 2019-2020 for some of these nonprofit organizations has been impacted significantly.
