On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Congress passed a historic $2.0 trillion funding bill, Pub. L. 116-136, Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) to respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The CARES Act provides for $10.0 billion in special funding set-asides for tribal governments for health, education, welfare, and nutrition to respond to the public health emergency.
Tribes must determine how to best use the one-time funds, and stay in compliance with federal rules that accompany the funding allocations. Tribes will be receiving substantial amounts of funds and must develop projects that comply with the CARES Act and U.S. Treasury rules. Most of the Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) have limited life; and any funds not used will be withdrawn by the federal government.
KIVA, with its expertise in federal contract and grant rules, federal appropriations laws is offering this online course to familiarize tribal governments on the CARES Act to help them become better prepared to plan how they can use the funds.
This three (3) hour online session may also be customized for tribes.
