CBC invests.
We’re committing $1 million in matching marketing funds to stimulate local economies.
The American Rescue Plan Act provides communities and agencies with much-needed funds to aid economic recovery after the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For many, communications, digital infrastructure, and multi-media marketing efforts play a key role in stimulating economic activity.
WRAL Digital and Capitol B Creative Studios have partnered and are committed to investing up to 1 million dollars in dollar-for-dollar matching funds for ARPA grant recipients.
ARPA funding already fully dedicated? Didn’t receive ARPA funding? Recipients of other grant funding may be eligible for matching funds, please contact us to find out more.
