Chattanooga residents, nonprofit organizations and philanthropic institutions can now apply for grants to help the city invest in a healthier, safer future in a campaign made possible by $38.6 million in federal funds.
The money was made available through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
Those interested can learn about program requirements at the city’s American Rescue Plan Portal. Initiatives that the city is willing to invest in include public health programs, gun violence reduction efforts and water, sewer and broadband infrastructure projects.
The deadline to apply is Jan. 6.
There is no limit on how much in grant funding can be requested, but ongoing operating program costs are not eligible for any of the funding.
