American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Nonprofit Grants
With funding made available through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), the ARPA Nonprofit Grant program offers limited, one-time funding to support organizations, programs, and activities that benefit Elk Grove residents disparately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects. Eligible activities include those such as implementation of prevention or mitigation measures to contain the spread of the virus, new programs designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and programs designed to serve a population disparately impacted by the public health emergency and its economic impacts, such as lower-income households.
At the August 11, 2021, meeting, the Elk Grove City Council approved a total of $2,500,000 of ARPA funding to be made available as grants to nonprofits that have faced economic hardship resulting from or exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health emergency, and to assist nonprofits offering new or increased programming to people or households negatively impacted by the pandemic. Through the first round of funding, held in late 2021, the City Council awarded approximately $1.3M of the set-aside. The remaining $1.2M is available for eligible activities during FY 2022-2023.
