Early Grant Information for NGOs
Any expenditures that are not determined to fit within the six categories listed above will require repayment from the grantee. Grant reporting will require submission of receipts for all expenses to confirm eligibility.
The requirement that expenditures be incurred “due to” the public health emergency means that expenditures must be used for actions taken to respond to the public health emergency.
These may include responding to second-order effects of the emergency, such as by providing economic support to those suffering from employment or business interruption due to COVID-19-related business closures.
Funds may be used for purchasing assets that will be used in the short term for public health purposes, even though the assets may outlast the crisis – for example, a house used for temporarily quarantining people seeking lodging at a shelter.
Organizations can receive CARES Act funding from multiple sources, but the funding cannot be used for any expense otherwise paid using CARES Act or other federal funds.
Requests for funding from the Soldotna Coronavirus Nonprofit Relief Fund cannot duplicate funding received through the Paycheck Protection Program(PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan emergency advance program (EIDL), AK CARES small business loans, City of Soldotna CARES grants, or other CARES Act-sourced funding.
Recipient organizations must sign all state and federal assurances, as described on page 7 of these guidelines. Reporting for grant awards received through the Soldotna Coronavirus Nonprofit Response Fund will be due on January 15, 2022.
