American Rescue Plan Technical Assistance Investment Program is run by Department of Agriculture. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $129 million in 37 grants, about $3.5 million per award.

## Objectives

The goal of this program is to fund organizations, to be known as Cooperators, that will collaborate with USDA on the delivery of targeted technical assistance and related activities to achieve future outcomes of improved participation of farmers, ranchers and forest land owners, numerous entities and individuals in USDA programs and services.
The funded Cooperators will provide ongoing coordination and substantial involvement with USDA to ensure that the plans for program development, curriculum development, deployment, and evaluation of impact are closely coordinated with USDA. Cooperators are required to coordinate with all other recipients of technical assistance resources in a manner as determined by USDA. Technical assistance must be directed to individuals and groups of socially disadvantaged producers, limited resource farmers and ranchers, veterans, and other key targeted communities.
