Green For All Guide to ARRA Funding
Free publication helps clean energy businesses and nonprofits tap into federal stimulus dollars

Green For All (www.greenforall.org), a national nonprofit that has taken a leadership role in clean energy workforce development, has published a useful guide designed to help small businesses and nonprofits leverage funding opportunities created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The document provides a concise overview of ARRA programs and good basic advice to help organizations navigate the complexities of stimulus funding. The conclusion of the guide emphasizes that:

These opportunities will not last long. ARRA funding is short-term; businesses must act quickly to turn that funding into long-term gains. The federal government has taken a bold step, but it is private employers who will be most responsible for taking advantage of the current opportunities to generate and sustain green jobs in this country.
