Let’s navigate the world of ARPA funding, together.
We’re all still recovering back from the economic impacts of the pandemic, but certain communities and industries were disproportionately affected—and your organization or business may qualify for a funding program through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This federal legislation casts a wide net, but the funding programs within it each have a unique focus:
Equitable Recovery – Organizations and programming that address child care, housing, and environmental inequities
Health Care Infrastructure – Investments in health care to address service disparities
Diverse Business Assistance – Chambers of commerce and nonprofits that provide assistance to diversely owned businesses
Diverse Business Investment – Community development financial institutions that provide grants and forgivable loans to small businesses
Neighborhood Investment Fund – Local and tribal governments investing in recovering neighborhoods
Tourism Capital – Rebuilding communities and reigniting tourism
WEDC, in partnership with the Department of Administration and other state agencies, is taking the lead in the administration and tracking of distributed funds.
Recorded Training Sessions
A series of training videos from FORVIS Wisconsin, WEDC, and the Department of Administration (DOA) introduces you to the funding available and help you understand your grant agreement. It also provides you with guidelines related to internal control functions such as timekeeping, cost allocation, record retention, and grants management pursuant to ARPA Uniform Guidance.
