The federal government allocated almost $22 million to the City of La Crosse in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to recover from pandemic conditions, and the city is allowed to spend 10 percent of that amount on immediate needs.
The first group of grants represents 10 percent of the ARPA money to be made available to the city.
Jamie Schloegel, executive director of the La Crosse Community Foundation, was involved in the decision making.
“We were grateful that the city reached out to us to help build a fair and equitable process, to be able to distribute these dollars to the non-profits who are really serving on the front lines throughout the pandemic,” Schloegel said.
