Summary

The board approved reallocating $40,000 in unexpended FY25 nonprofit funds originally intended for Mentors for Hillsborough County Veterans to three organizations: Veterans Helping Veterans ($15,000), Ministerio Mujeres Restauradas Portvios ($15,000), and Lotus Coalition ($10,000).

The board approved a motion to reallocate $40,000 in unspent FY25 nonprofit budget funds that had been originally appropriated for Mentors for Hillsborough County Veterans. Commissioner Cameron Cepeda moved to distribute the funds as follows: $15,000 to Veterans Helping Veterans, $15,000 to Ministerio Mujeres Restauradas Portvios, and $10,000 to Lotus Coalition. The motion stated that the funding would be considered one‑time FY26 budget allocations and that the county administrator should draft funding agreements and related budget amendments. The proposer said the original grantee reported it could not use the funds; staff will prepare agreements and list the budget amendment on a future consent agenda. The board approved the motion 7–0.
