Non-profits seeking funding for programs or events that require funding between July 1 and December 31, 2021, may submit applications to the Port Authority between April 1 and April 30, 2021. The Port of Corpus Christi’s ongoing commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance leadership continues with its available funding to programs that benefit the Coastal Bend communities in which the Port serves. The Port of Corpus Christi Commission and Staff recognize these much-needed funds enable recipients to fulfill their missions, which have been particularly challenging in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, this financial support is a thoughtful way for the Port Authority to keep its dollars local as it reinvests in the surrounding communities that continue to recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19.
