How To Access ARPA Funds

Join the National Council of Nonprofits to learn how to access ARPA funds allocated for Missouri & Kansas.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 allocated $350 billion in funds to state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments to provide assistance at each government's discretion - to charitable nonprofits, households, and small businesses. Nonprofits and governments are natural partners in addressing community challenges and there are funds remaining to assist nonprofits or hire them as providers of services.

Join from David Thompson, Vice President of Public Policy, and Jessica Mendieta, Policy Associate, at the National Council of Nonprofits for a webinar to learn more about the available funds in Missouri and Kansas, how to access them, and examples of successful programs.

This is a program of The Effective Nonprofit Series.
