🚨 FEMA Extends Deadline for COVID-19 Public Assistance Closeouts 🚨 FEMA has extended the deadline for closeout submissions for COVID-19 Public Assistance projects to June 30, 2025, for applicants and recipients with projects obligated on or before April 1, 2025. For projects obligated after this date, the closeout deadline will be 90 days after obligation. This extension reflects FEMA’s commitment to helping communities recover from the costs of the pandemic, maximizing flexibility, and addressing challenges efficiently and effectively.

Helene has inflicted destruction that will be felt for generations. Now is the time to saves lives and protect property. We thank our tireless first responders for their service and dedication. Soon though, communities will shift their focus to recovery. FEMA's Public Assistance program will be the financial lifeline for many of these communities. However, Immediate Needs Funding restrictions on the Disaster Relief Fund and uncertainty regarding its full replenishment will likely cause an extended reimbursement timeline for all services awaiting funding from FEMA's Public Assistance program. This can hurt local governments, nonprofits, as well as their contractors and subcontractors. Disaster Relief Strategies can help bridge that gap for eligible nonprofits and local governments. https://lnkd.in/eygn-k34

please share... In light of the events of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, this is a reminder that AHIMA and the AHIMA Foundation offer the Health Information Relief Operation Fund (HIRO Fund). The HIRO Fund was initiated by AHIMA and the AHIMA Foundation in 2011 to assist health information professionals affected by natural or man-made disasters and seeks to provide material relief to health information professionals whose lives and communities have been impacted by catastrophes, with the aim of helping them rebuild their lives and restore healthcare services. Eligible applicants can apply for financial assistance from the HIRO Fund by completing and submitting the HIRO Fund Assistance Application available on the AHIMA Foundation website. Criteria for financial assistance include living or working in a FEMA-designated disaster area within the past twelve months, having an active AHIMA membership, and being able to request up to $500 for assistance. More information about the HIRO Fund can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gW6yjyqm #fema #disasterrecovery #financialsupport Reach Healthcare MATCHCoalition

State agencies, municipal authorities, special districts, and specific private non-profit organizations are now eligible to apply for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)! This initiative provides financial support for projects aimed at minimizing the effects of future natural disasters by addressing potential hazards before they occur.

The Alberta NGO Council deeply empathizes with the residents, tourists, and frontline workers affected by the wildfire in Jasper National Park as well as residents from our Rocky Mountain and Northern Alberta Communities who have been evacuated. We understand the emotional and physical toll this disaster is taking on everyone involved. We are committed to providing support to those in need. If you or someone you know requires assistance, please reach out through our website. https://ngocouncil.ca/ When one part of our community suffers, we all feel the impact. It’s natural to want to help, but sometimes we feel unsure of how to do so effectively. Here are some ways you can make a meaningful difference: *** Avoid self-deployment: Let the frontline workers focus on their critical tasks without additional strain. ***Support locally: Consider helping a neighbor who may be struggling with the smoke and poor air quality and unable to leave their home for groceries and errands. ***Other Contributions: Well-intended donations and services can sometimes overwhelm municipalities. Instead, email the AEMA Offers To Support and submit your offer that way. [email protected] Or reach out to the Alberta NGO Council and they can help direct you to one of the members who may be accepting donations. Our thoughts are with all Albertans. Together, we can navigate this challenging time with compassion and solidarity.

The North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund will help provide for immediate unmet needs through reimbursements to nonprofits working with disaster survivors. For immediate, unmet needs, the United Way of North Carolina will provide grants to nonprofits or reimburse nonprofits working in impacted communities. If sufficient donations are collected to support long-term recovery work, the North Carolina Community Foundation's affiliate foundations and statewide grants committee will work to ensure that all donations are distributed to nonprofits that can best serve unmet needs in affected communities. Certain nonprofit organizations assisting individuals and communities recovering from Hurricane Helene are eligible for funding. Eligible groups include any 501(c)(3) agency with a valid charitable solicitation license that is assisting Hurricane Helene-impacted communities with immediate needs. EDRF is funding organizations providing emergency relief to those affected by Hurricane Helene. Initially, $25,000 grants will be awarded on a rolling basis.  Grant requests should be for frontline human service needs. They are intended to cover the extraordinary costs of providing emergency relief services to individuals or eligible organizations affected by the storm. EDRF grants are not for ongoing operational or staff costs or costs that are or will be covered by other sources. Eligibility for emergency public funding (local, state or federal) will be addressed in the application.
