I don’t understand how a grant can be awarded and then not released. I don’t understand why change in leadership at the grantee organization would affect a previously awarded grant unless the organization chooses to terminate its participation in the grant or the change somehow makes them non compliant with federal CDBG regulations.

If this is a pass through of federal money (ie federal block grant awarded to the state, then parceled out to the county) then there are compliance requirements for Peaceful Knights as a grantee. The authorizing statute for the CDBG programs contains a specific statutory prohibition on religious discrimination in these programs.

ETA: Aggie Schoenberger was just at the Palmerton Chamber of Commerce Meeting this month talking about how she couldn’t get government funding because of her religious requirements. No mention of this from her at that time..

I don’t have kids, but I think it’s a very worthwhile cause. I wonder if there would be funding available through the Community Services Block Grant. If counties could apply and use the money to fund child care, whether via voucher or program administration, it could make a huge impact in alleviating child poverty in the state.

Did you ever apply for one? It’s not automatically issued when you apply for a corporate tax ID. You would have needed to apply for that separately on your PA 100.

If you’ve ever filed an unemployment tax return, pull an old copy and look for the account number. You aren’t going to be able to look that up online.

BTW, Etides and Mypath are completely separate entities from PA UC. Department of revenue handles corporate tax, sales tax, and state income tax withholding. Department of Labor administers PA unemployment for both the employer and employee side.
