A webinar with a national federal grants expert to learn more about a new grant opportunity and the steps that elections officials will need to take to submit an application.

The “Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities” or BRIC program presents an exciting opportunity for state and local election officials to seek federal funding to improve elections operations. The BRIC program is investing $1 billion in public infrastructure funds across the country, including $701 million in competitive grants to ensure that local jurisdictions can increase resilience of critical services from natural hazards. As a core element of government function, elections are a critical service and eligible for this government funding.
