On March 13, 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic was declared a National Emergency by President Trump. This declaration set in motion the availability of FEMA Public Assistance (PA) disaster relief funds to support nonprofit healthcare and higher education organizations, among others, during the recovery. On March 27, 2020, additional FEMA PA disaster relief funds of approximately $45 billion were appropriated through the CARES Act to address the public health emergency. Further, many of the longstanding FEMA policies and procedures are being loosened to streamline and expedite funding for nonprofit healthcare organizations such as hospitals and hospice, as well as certain higher education institutions.
