Just a quick update on this ARPA funding program! The guidelines now clarify that funds cannot be used for increased ongoing operational costs, meaning you must demonstrate long-term project sustainability in your proposal. Additionally, if your organization was previously awarded funding in a specific track, you are no longer eligible to reapply for that same track.
