American Rescue Plan Act Funds Available for Local Non-Profits


Through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was signed into law on March 11, 2021, by President Biden, the City of Fredericksburg was allocated $2,848,547 to be received over two years (the first half was received in August 2021).  

On October 4, 2021, City Council approved for local non-profits to apply for a portion of the city’s American Rescue Plan Act funds to help our community recover from the Covid-19 public health emergency.

Awards will be granted to non-profits for programs that are in accordance with the U.S. Treasury ARPA guidance and reporting requirements will be placed upon the recipients.  The grants will range from $10,000 to $100,000.

To be eligible for ARPA funding organizations must have a 501(c)(3) designation and provide service to the City of Fredericksburg community.

The awards will be focused on servicing the following areas of our community:

  • Mental health treatment

  • Services or outreach to promote access to health and social services
  • Affordable housing including rent, utilities, and relocation assistance
