NAM roundtables to focus on the use of Rescue Plan dollars

The Nonprofit Association of the Midlands invites you to a series of online roundtables regarding the use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. At the roundtables, nonprofits and community members will discuss priorities and develop recommendations for the use of ARPA dollars in Nebraska. The roundtables will build on each other, so it is recommended — but not required — that participants attend all three. The roundtables will be held via Zoom on (all times Central):

  • Monday,  July 26  – 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.;
  • Tuesday, Aug. 3 – 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; and
  • Wednesday, Aug. 11 — 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

These roundtables will give an overall perspective of what is happening with ARPA funds, but most of the time will be spent in small groups around the five areas of need: early childhood, food, health, housing, and workforce.  You can register here. PLEASE NOTE: It is very important that the email you register with is the email you will use to log into Zoom for the sessions.
