Building a Strong Backbone: How American Rescue Plan Funds Can Strengthen the Administrative Operations Needed to Support Kids Many of the state and local agencies that ultimately will be responsible for administering and managing American Rescue Plan funds have never received funding of this magnitude and lack the administrative infrastructure and capacity to plan, commit, and spend the funds within the mandated timeline. Intermediary organizations that work on behalf of children and their families are uniquely well positioned to support these agencies and provide additional administrative capacity by coordinating and deploying the new funding. Given their relationships to so many organizations, and their foot in the door with wider support networks, local intermediary organizations can act as brokers and help programs leverage critical resources. This publication outlines how states and localities can use these new federal funds to develop and maintain the administrative infrastructure that will be necessary to deploy the many programs in which their communities will invest their funding.
