Thank you Sunnyvale Cares: $11k to Support Sunnyvale Students
Sunnyvale, CA – Thanks to the city of Sunnyvale and the Sunnyvale Cares program for supporting SEF with an $11,000 donation to help fill our fundraising gap after we had to cancel our annual donor event in March.
From the City of Sunnyvale Website: To assist Sunnyvale nonprofits impacted by COVID-19, the City committed $150,000 to create a Sunnyvale Cares Nonprofit Grant Program. The City received 27 applications for a combined funding request of $600,005. Mayor Klein appointed an ad hoc advisory committee (Committee) to review the applications submitted and make funding recommendations to the City Council. The Committee members were Councilmember Russ Melton, Councilmember Mason Fong, and Mayor Larry Klein. The Committee forwarded its recommendation to the City Council and on July 28, 2020, the City Council approved the following funding levels for 15 agencies.
