Lamar County Board of Commissioners approved the distribution up to $50,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to eligible nonprofit organizations in Lamar County. The nonprofits will be selected through a competitive grant application process. Under the County’s program guidelines, nonprofit organizations must submit requests describing intended use of the funds, the beneficiaries of the program, how the program will be implemented, and why their organization is positioned to support the goals of the ARPA. The County will exercise its sole and best judgement to determine which organizations shall be selected for grant awards. Grant awards will be determined based on need, priorities of the County, assessment of the organization’s response, and availability of funds. The County makes no guarantee that it will fund any organization under this Program or the amount of grant funds that will be awarded
