March 20 ST. CROIX, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – Governor Kenneth E. Mapp has directed the Office of Management & Budget to release funds to local non-profit organizations as authorized by law. During a Tuesday meeting, Governor Mapp was briefed by OMB Acting Director Julio Rhymer on the list of organizations awaiting funding. The Governor advised Acting Director Rhymer that continuing to release allotments to those non-profit organizations – particularly those that provide social, health and safety services – must be a priority over the next several weeks. “While we must acknowledge that revenues to the  Government  were far reduced in the immediate aftermath of the storms, funding for those organizations that provide life sustaining services to our community must be addressed,” the Governor said. The Governor directed OMB to work with the Department of Finance to release funds to those entities as soon as is possible. He noted that although the V.I. Hurricane Recovery & Resiliency Task Force through the Community Foundation of the U.S. Virgin Islands, had provided more than $3 million in grants to organizations since the hurricanes, those funds were not intended to replace monies appropriated by the Legislature. “Supporting the non-profit community and the vital services they provide to our residents remains a top priority of the Mapp-Potter Administration,” Governor Mapp concluded.
