Court tightens nonprofit funding paperwork; Christian Community Services restored to $3,000
Summary
Auditors introduced a new nonprofit funding checklist requiring 501(c)(3) documentation and Form 990; commissioners agreed to restore $3,000 to Christian Community Services and increase the back-to-school allocation to $5,000 pending documentation.
Auditors and staff presented a revised nonprofit funding packet for FY26 that explicitly requires proof of 501(c)(3) status and a current Form 990 for organizations to qualify for county funding. The court discussed numerous submissions and non-responses — Crime Stoppers and the Sexual Assault Resource Center (SARC) were among organizations with incomplete paperwork this cycle.
Commissioner discussion led the court to place $3,000 back into the Christian Community Services line (historically funded) and to increase the back-to-school program allocation to $5,000 to support an expected larger event. Court staff and auditors said the new packet language will be required in future cycles so organizations know upfront what documentation to submit.
