Bill > SF800

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically to provide a grant to Equaspace, a nonprofit organization. The grant is designed to support small and start-up nonprofit organizations by offering comprehensive support services, including physical workspace and various administrative assistance. The specific support services covered by the grant include work space, information technology (IT) support, human resource assistance, accounting services, fundraising help, and executive director support. The bill explicitly states that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not intended to be recurring and is meant as a single, specific allocation to help emerging nonprofit organizations establish and develop their operations.
