Council approves $62,000 in grant awards to 20 local nonprofits
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-3227 to allocate roughly $62,000 across 20 nonprofit organizations, using an even-distribution approach recommended by a council member who prepared the calculations.
Council reviewed staff recommendations and a proposed allocation plan for annual community grant funding and moved to award funds to 20 local nonprofit organizations. Councilmember Rhonda, who led the allocation math, described an even-distribution approach that removed requests that exceeded a threshold and spread remaining funds evenly so no organization becomes dependent on a larger allocation.
Rhonda explained the total pool as $62,000 (rounded from cents) and read the proposed awards during the meeting. Sample line items included Christian Community Action ($3,484), Denton County Friends of the Family ($3,484), Denton County MHMR Center ($3,484), Love Packs ($1,700) and Meals on Wheels of Denton County ($2,523). The full resolution lists each nonprofit and its award amount.
A motion to approve Resolution 2025-3227 awarding the funds as read passed unanimously, 7-0.
Next steps: Staff will incorporate the listed organizations and amounts into the formal resolution for action on the regular agenda and proceed with contracting and disbursement.
