Today, Gov. Andy Beshear presented more than $4.6 million in awards to 66 different nonprofits in Daviess County.

“No matter the challenges they’ve faced, these incredible nonprofits have stepped up to support Kentucky families in this community,” Gov. Beshear said. “Like any parent, I want my kids and yours to have every opportunity right here, so they never feel like they have to leave home to chase their dreams. The 66 different organizations we’re recognizing today are building that brighter future for all of our people.”

These awards come from the Governor’s Nonprofit Assistance Fund, which helps organizations across Kentucky recover from the effects of the pandemic. The funding comes from federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars and Gov. Beshear supported the allocation by the 2022 General Assembly. One-time direct relief payments are based on each organization’s application.

“It’s humbling to know the state of Kentucky is so supportive of a program that will benefit my family,” said Tinisha McHenry, who is partnering with Habitat for Humanity Owensboro-Daviess County to build her home. “I know funding for these types of programs can be difficult sometimes, so I’m honored to know the Team Kentucky Nonprofit Assistance Fund will help build my house.”
