How nonprofits can apply for stimulus package funds

The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University has published a free, six-page, special bulletin, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Act Appropriations Beneficial to the Nonprofit Sector and Key Resources for Organizations to Approach and Access Funding Sources. Download the special bulletin or read the media advisory

Written and researched by the center and published in conjunction with Giving USA Foundation, the bulletin provides timely information on how charitable and philanthropic organizations can apply for funding through the ARRA, also known as the stimulus package. The Bulletin contains hotlinks to numerous sites and resources.

As a public service to the nonprofit sector, the Bulletin is available online for free. The ARRA offers nonprofits opportunities to acquire desperately needed funding relief to sustain current programs and to access funds to implement programs. There is a sense of urgency, however, as deadlines for applying for grants under the Act are approaching.
