Thanks for your interest in “the stimulus package” – formally, the American Revitalization and Recovery Act.
We have arranged a matrix of programs that have or will receive funding from the Federal government, and have assembled brief descriptions of each program including state and/or federal contacts. This content is all straight off the State of Wisconsin's Office of Recovery and Reinvestment website --
http://www.recovery.wi.gov/. Programs, announcements, and application deadlines are changing frequently, so we will try to keep things up to date but can’t guarantee the accuracy or timeliness.
We have a list of key agency staff that are responsible for individual programs. If you would like us to search for options that might fit your particular interest, please send us a note including your area or project of interest and we would be glad to do so. If you would like to explore for yourself, you can browse the attached Excel spreadsheet that includes
1)
program names (these are organized by category but you could search for key words),
2) which
users are eligible [local governments, school districts, individuals, businesses, state, tribal, nonprofit, tech college, university] , or
3) what
kind of assistance it is [grant, loan, bond, contract, tax credit/deduction, other], or
4) whether it comes directly from the feds or through the state.
If you find a program of interest,
look at the "ref" column – then go to the listed page number on the "descriptions" document to match so you can get a little more detail. We can then contact the agency for more details.
