Advancing Macomb seeks slice of federal American Rescue Plan funds
Posted March 24, 2023
Macomb Daily - Advancing Macomb is asking Macomb County government to provide a sliver of its federal American Rescue Plan allocation to help attract more nonprofit dollars to the county.
Diane Banks, Advancing Macomb executive director, lobbied the county Board of Commissioners at a committee meeting last month for the board to funnel American Rescue Plan Act funds to the nonprofit organization through a contract. The funds would be used to help Macomb County to catch up to the rest of southeastern Michigan in the amount of dollars nonprofit organizations receive from local, regional and national foundations, Banks said.
