Cash aid grants for local non-profits and business organizations that experienced the negative economic, health, and safety impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are now available through the District 1 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grants. To be eligible to apply for a Cash Aid Grant your organization must have experienced a negative economic impact created by COVID-19 for the period March 1, 2020 to the present.

Grants will reflect the geographic and cultural diversity of Alameda County, prioritizing organizations operated by or serving populations and communities that were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Cash Aid Grants cannot exceed the amount of the organization’s losses due to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARPA guidelines require that the cash aid grants be reasonably proportional to the negative economic impacts they are intended to address. Grant amounts cannot exceed $100,000 per Supervisorial district and are subject to availability of funds within each Supervisorial District’s $3.1 million allocation.

All qualifying local non-profits and business organizations interested in applying for the District 1 ARPA grants, please visit this website to learn more.
