Grant Agreement (For-Profit or Non-Profit Entity)
The federal government provided two major funding sources, FEMA and CARES, to entities to mitigate the public health crisis stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. ARPA continues the goal of decreasing the spread of COVID-19 and bringing the pandemic under control.
Eligible instances of public health responses to the COVID-19 emergency include:
Investment in capital expenditures, including property, facilities, and equipment, is allowable under this category for certain instances. Applicants must include written justifications for any expenditures over $1 million. This justification should include how the capital expenditure is “related and reasonably proportional to the pandemic impact identified and reasonably designed to benefit the impacted population or class.” Ineligible capital purchases include construction of correctional facilities as a response to increased rate of crime, construction of new congregate facilities to decrease spread of COVID-19 in facilities, and construction of convention centers, stadiums, or other large capital projects for general economic development aid to impacted industries.
Depending upon the project, grant awards in this category may be in the form of advancements or reimbursements to the applicant. The grantee will be required to report on a quarterly basis the status of the project, including expenditures.
