Nevada City, CA – The Nevada County Relief Fund announced its second round of grant awards, totaling
$200,000, supporting eleven “safety-net” nonprofits in western Nevada County, who are all providing a
life line to our neighbors most in need, and twenty-five small businesses from throughout the county
heavily impacted by COVID-19.
The Relief Fund received 102 applications from small businesses for its micro-grants up to $5,000 each,
and over two dozen applications for the “safety-net” grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 each. The
combined requests totaled over $850,000. To date, the Relief Fund has raised $447,218 and disbursed
$410,000.
About the Nevada County Relief Fund
The Nevada County Relief Fund was created through a partnership between the County of Nevada, Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation (SNMH Foundation, the Fund’s fiscal sponsor), Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF), the Sierra Business Council (SBC), Center for Nonprofit Leadership (CNL), and the Economic Resource Council (ERC). In conjunction with TTCF’s Emergency Response Fund, the purpose of this effort is to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis by directing vital resources to our most vulnerable neighbors, and support our small, rural businesses.
The Fund was established in April with a $100,000 “challenge grant” from the Nevada County Board of Supervisors. Since then, it has gained traction as a reliable way to give back to our unique small businesses and nonprofits that have been stretched to meet extreme community needs.
