Camp Verde council approves $20,000 in FY26 outreach grants to eight local nonprofits
Summary
The Town Council unanimously approved distribution of $20,000 in FY26 Community Outreach Funds to eight local organizations, following review by a committee of council members that recommended specific award amounts to each nonprofit.
The Camp Verde Town Council voted unanimously to distribute $20,000 in FY26 Community Outreach Funds to eight local nonprofit organizations, following a recommendation from a review committee.
Town Manager Miranda Fisher explained that the council had budgeted $20,000 for the program and that a review committee consisting of Vice Mayor Wendy Escoffier, Councilor Robert Foreman and Councilor Patricia Seybold evaluated applications and proposed awards. The council approved the committee's recommended allocations: Senior Citizens of Camp Verde ($2,450); St. Vincent de Paul ($2,450); Camp Verde Seventh-day Adventist ($2,600); America Youth Soccer Association ($2,000); Wheel Fun ($2,000); Humane Society of Sedona ($3,000); Verde Valley Sanctuary ($2,000); Manzanita Outreach ($3,500).
Councilor Robert Foreman moved to approve the distributions; Vice Mayor Wendy Escoffier seconded the motion. The council voted 7-0 to carry the motion.
Why it matters: the awards direct modest, locally controlled funds to organizations that provide services to Camp Verde residents. The committee's mix of awards prioritized several social-service and community organizations, and council members authorized the transfers by unanimous vote.
Next steps: staff will implement the disbursements as approved and report back as necessary.
