Fulton County Now Accepting Grant Applications for Programs Serving the Community

Fulton County’s Housing and Human Service Department has opened the application process for the Fulton Roundtable Expanded Services Headquarters (F.R.E.S.H.) and Human Services Grants. The grants provide programs and activities for county residents and are open to nonprofit organizations based in Fulton County. Grant applications are due 3 p.m. Fri., Feb. 24. Organizations cannot apply for both a F.R.E.S.H. and Human Services grant.

The F.R.E.S.H. and Human Services grant programs bridge the gap in direct government services by supporting established community-based organizations throughout Fulton County that support the Department’s mission.

Applicants seeking F.R.E.S.H. and Human Services grant funds must demonstrate the ability to provide programs, activities and services that use evidence-based and/or best practices. 

Human Services Grant applicants must address at least one of the following Human Services Funding Areas which include:

• Aging Services
• Youth and Family Services
• Disability Services
• Employment Services
• HIV / AIDS Services
• Homeless / Housing Services

F.R.E.S.H. Grant applicants must address at least one District Specific Issue within the Fulton County Geographic Commission District(s) from which funding is sought.

Anyone interested in applying for a 2012—2013 FRESH or Human Services grant should request access to the official online application by emailing hsd.applications@fultoncountyga.gov.
