About ARC
Grants and Contracts
The Appalachian Regional Commission awards grants and contracts from funds appropriated to the Commission annually by Congress.
Program Grants
ARC awards program grants for projects that further the four goals identified by the Commission in its strategic plan. Typically, ARC grants are awarded to state and local agencies and governmental entities (such as economic development authorities), local governing boards (such as county councils), and nonprofit organizations (such as schools and organizations that build low-cost housing). Program grants are made to nonprofit organizations.
Most program grants originate at the state level. Potential applicants should contact their state ARC program manager to request a preapplication package. The local development district serving the county in which the project is located may provide guidance on a project's eligibility for funding and assistance in preparing a grant application.
