Thanks to local tax revenue, Lexington's Nonprofit Capital Project Grants will award grants to local nonprofits for the second year in a row.

Pending approval from the Urban County Council, the $479,300 grant will be split across 12 agencies including:

Carnegie Center for Literacy & Learning
Central Music Academy
FoodChain
Gleanings Housing
Goodwill
Lexington Hearing & Speech Center
Lexington Housing for the Handicapped
Living Arts & Science Center
Mission Lexington
New Life Day Center
Shepherd's House
YMCA

Around 73% of the grants will go towards facility improvements, while the remaining 27% will support operational investments. Each grant will range between $22,885 to $55,000.

"Nonprofits provide important services in our community. Although we have traditionally provided support for these agencies, it is usually for operating expenses,” Mayor Gorton said in a press release. "Nonprofits often find that grants they qualify for cannot be used for capital expenses."

Organizations were chosen based on their needs, impact on low-income + marginalized residents, and cost analysis.
