Community Foundation of the Lowcountry is accepting applications from nonprofits in the latest round of grants from the Town of Hilton Head Island's COVID-19 Fund. The application deadline is November 15, 2022 and the maximum amount per grant is $25,000.

These grants are part of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant program specified for COVID-19 relief.

The Hilton Head Island COVID-19 Fund was established to provide grants to nonprofit organizations serving predominantly low-to moderate-income residents of the Town. An organization applying for a Hilton Head Island COVID-19 grant must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing services within the Town of Hilton Head Island, and be able to verify that the majority of the population they serve is low-to-moderate-income, based on HUD specifications.

The Hilton Head Island COVID-19 Fund Advisory Committee will review and recommend grants for eligible nonprofit organizations, and the grants will be approved through the process established by Community Foundation of the Lowcountry Board of Directors. Applications will be reviewed and decisions will be made no later than December 8, 2022. All funds will be disbursed no later than March 31, 2023.
