The Town of Webster announces a new grant opportunity for local non-profit organizations, through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Relief Funding.
Donor Name: Town of Webster
State: New York
Town: Webster
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/31/2022
Size of the Grant: Up to $350,000
Details:
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill, was signed into law in March 2021. This funding package builds upon the CARES Act from March 2020 and its extension in December 2020. ARPA provides a total of $350 billion in assistance for eligible state and local governments through the Fiscal Recovery Fund (FRF) and is intended to support the continued recovery efforts in response to the impacts of COVID-19. The Town of Webster is expected to receive a total of approximately $4 million under ARPA.
The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund was established to help turn the tide on the pandemic, address its economic fallout and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. There are three primary ways – outside of the lost revenue allowance – that the Town may invest funds:
- Support public health expenditures, by, for example, funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff.
- Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the public sector.
- Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure sectors.

Up to $350,000 in grants will be distributed to eligible companies and non-profit organizations.
