ARPA Toolkit for Virginia Funders
ARPA’s investment in the Commonwealth has the potential to reduce pandemic-related hardships experienced by many Virginians and begin to set the stage for a strong recovery that benefits all of our state’s communities and residents. At VFN, we believe that philanthropy has an opportunity to work in partnership with local and state government officials as they begin to make allocation decisions to ensure the strategic allocation of these public dollars to help Virginians thrive in a post-pandemic world.
We are pleased to release this toolkit and resource guide designed to help funders across Virginia engage in the strategic allocation, distribution, and use of ARPA funds in their local communities.
Released in 2021, this publication is available for VFN Members.
