A special bulletin, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Act Appropriations Beneficial to the Nonprofit Sector and Key Resources for Organizations to Approach and Access Funding Sources, is now available at no cost from the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

Written and researched by the Center, and published in conjunction with Giving USA Foundation, the Bulletin provides timely information on how charitable and philanthropic organizations can apply for funding through the Act, also known as the stimulus package. The Bulletin contains hotlinks to numerous sites and resources.

As a public service to the nonprofit sector, the Bulletin is offered free. The passage of the Act offers nonprofits opportunities to acquire desperately needed funding relief to sustain current programs and to access novel forms of funding to implement new and innovative programs.

The bulletin can be downloaded through this media advisory. Deadlines for application are approaching.
