Manatee Review

The 2023/24 application period for non-profit agencies interested in applying for human resources grants to assist Manatee residents will open on Friday, December 16, 2022, at Noon.

The Children’s and Adult Human Services sections of Manatee County’s Community and Veterans Services Department and the Healthcare Services section of the Public Safety Department invests in programs through the Children’s Services Dedicated Millage to help disadvantaged children and families in the community, as well as from the General Revenue Fund to assist adult residents or provide other services throughout Manatee County.

For consideration of investments for Children's Services or Adult Human Services funding, applicants must meet the general eligibility requirements below:

• Serve residents of Manatee County
• Be recognized as a corporation under the State of Florida
• Be tax exempt per the Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3)
• Provide proof of sufficient insurance coverage
• Provide financial audit or compilation by an independent auditor certified in the State of Florida

Investment amounts are determined by the Manatee Board of County Commissioners and are awarded on a competitive basis. Programs are reimbursed, contingent upon the successful completion of the project, the results (human gain) and achieving the requirements listed in the investment agreement.

County representatives will conduct an in-person information session on Friday December 16, 2022, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., at the Manatee Chamber of Commerce 4215 Concept Court, Lakewood Ranch, 34211, to provide details about the investment-funding process.
