ARPA All-Member Briefing
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for nonprofits to receive support and investment from the State
Register Now for Call
Join us for a special All-Member Briefing on our sector's unified proposal to the SC Legislature to invest $100 million (of the state's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) $2.5 billion allocation) in the work of nonprofits across the state, in partnership with the Department of Commerce.
We'll walk you through the proposal and answer all your questions so you and your colleagues can reach out to your legislators and take action together.
Here's How To Help
1. Sign Letter of Support
See who's already signed and add your organization's name to this unified letter of support to be delivered to House and Senate leadership, as well as the Governor's office.

2. Contact Legislators
E-mail your legislator directly and encourage them to invest in our state's nonprofits. Find your legislator and copy/paste our letter into your email, or reach out personally.
