North Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman is reminding residents about Nassau County’s Veterans Support Grant Program, a fiscal assistance program aimed to provide relief to veterans’ halls and facilities in Nassau County that sustained financial losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grant program can provide a one-time payment of up to $10,000 to eligible 501(c)3 and 501(c)19 veterans’ posts or organizations that experienced economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To be eligible, applicants must meet the following criteria:
• Be a 501(c)3 or 501(c)19 veterans’ post or organization located in Nassau County.
• Be in operation at the time of application (businesses that have ceased operations due to the pandemic are ineligible).
• Demonstrate financial insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples include: loss of income, increased costs, capacity to weather financial hardship, challenges covering operating expense, not be in default or arrears on past or current federal or state financing or funding programs.
• Not be in conflict of interest with Nassau County, the County Legislature, the local municipality, or the operating program agency.
To find the application, applicants should visit https://www.nassaucountyny.gov/1945/Veterans-Service-Agency. Applicants needing assistance can leave a voicemail at 646-825-9617 or email ncveterans@ndconline.org and someone will be in contact within 48 hours.
