CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Commissioners are pleased to announce a second round of grant funding for municipalities, small businesses and non-profit organizations located in Clearfield County.
As with the first round, the process will be completely online. The portals can be found at www.clearfieldco.org (all portals) and https://dubois.psu.edu/launchbox (small business only).
Some important notes about the grant process:
- The portals will be open through 11:59 p.m. Nov. 15. No applications will be accepted after that date.
- The county has a very limited window to grant these funds, as all CARES funds must be spent by Dec. 30. In light of that, it is extremely important that all applicants provide accurate information in the initial application. Detailed instructions can be found in the portals. If the commissioners do not receive timely information, that may result in a denial of the application.
- As with the last round, the commissioners will prioritize those entities which have received no other assistance (such as a PPP loan or other grants).
- Entities, which were awarded a grant by Clearfield County in the prior round, are ineligible for second-round funding. Small businesses and non-profit organizations, which were denied funding, are welcome to reapply if their financial situation has changed.
- The county has capped second-round small business grants at $5,000 for those under $200,000 annual revenue, and at $10,000 for those with revenue above $200,000. Non-profit and municipality amounts will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
The commissioners are proud to partner with the North Central PA LaunchBox to administer the small business grants. Brad Lashinsky, program director, and his staff will be working on these applications.
Any questions regarding small business applications can be directed to him at blw128@psu.edu.
Lisa Kovalick, the county’s community development specialist, will be administering the non-profit grants once again. She can be reached at lkovalick@clearfieldco.org.
Municipalities with questions should e-mail cccomm@clearfieldco.org.
The commissioners said they look forward to assisting local small businesses, non-profit organizations and municipalities as everyone navigates these unprecedented times.
