The Sweewtater County commissioners are distributing applications for CARES Act funding to go to the county’s charitable organizations.
Sweetwater County charitable organizations, including churches, which qualifies as tax-exempt under either 501 (c) (3) or Section 501 ( c ) (19) of the Internal Revenue Code and which provide goods, services, or payments to the public related to the COVID-19 Public Health emergency, qualify to apply for this CARES Act funding.
These funds are determined by the governor’s office using population as a primary allocation metric which has been awarded to each county. The funds will be distributed by completing a “Community Charitable Relief Program Grantee Certification Form” which can be emailed, picked up at the Sweetwater County commissioners’ office, and is also available on the county website.
