Adrian, MI – Lenawee Humane Society has been awarded $25,000 from the Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund, established by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.
The $35 million Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund was created from the American Rescue Plan Act funds awarded to the State of Michigan to support Michigan-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits with annual revenues of less than $1 million, who have demonstrated necessary expenditures and losses incurred due to the pandemic.
The fund was designed with special attention to underserved and underrepresented populations including nonprofits in rural areas and those led by and serving, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
Michigan-based nonprofits applied to the Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund in the spring of 2023. Applications were reviewed by a panel of Michigan nonprofit leaders in the summer and a total of 1,373 awardees were selected this fall.
Lenawee Humane Society will use the awarded funds to continue their mission of saving the lives of animals while enriching the lives of humans.
