City of Clarksville announces Applications for 2015 Nonprofits Seeking City Funding due April 1st

Clarksville, TN – Qualified nonprofit charitable or civic organizations in Clarksville have an opportunity to seek the City’s financial support on a limited basis.  Applications for these funds are due by noon on Wednesday, April 1st, 2015.

“Once again, the previous year has proven that our communities’ various charitable and civic organizations play a vital role in providing assistance through a variety of programs and projects.  I am happy that we are again able to offer some limited funding assistance for organizations that qualify,” said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan.

In order to qualify for the funds, each organization must provide the application and:  (1) a letter from the Internal Revenue Service recognizing the organization as holding tax-exempt status and (2) a copy of the most recent organizational financial audit, or in the absence of an audit, the profit and loss statement for the past business year.

After the applications are reviewed for compliance, the qualifying organizations will be asked to appear before a committee made up of City Council members to present their funding request and answer any questions about their applications.

Final approval for each funding award is made by the City Council as part of the annual budget process.
