BPA Solutions said it is partnering with specialized FEMA consultants to expedite the application process for 178,000 organizations that appear in the system as having requested public assistance. BPA Solutions, with the help of expert FEMA and grant writing consultants, will work to guide organizations through the process of determining eligibility and submitting a project for reimbursement before the end of the year.
Eligible recipients include government, or non-profit organizations such as schools, government buildings, hospitals, and other locations deemed eligible, said the company.
In a statement, BPA Solutions CEO Ryan Cowell said: "Our experience working with schools and other non-profit organizations has allowed us to develop expertise.”
“Our team deeply understands the grant process for our products and services, including AIRBOX, a stand-alone air purifier utilizing Certified HEPA technology, designed to create healthier and safer indoor environments,” he added.
Cowell noted that the firm views consulting as “a natural strategic extension” and an opportunity to help clients access available funds through FEMA, Homeland Security, EANS, ESSER, or other state or federal grant or assistance programs.
"The decision to team up with experienced FEMA consultants is strategic and should accelerate the process for schools and non-profit organizations (NPOs) to access the federally approved funds and services,” he added. “This team has decades of experience facilitating available funding through grant programs that will be an invaluable asset for BPA Solutions and our clients throughout this grant period."
BPA Solutions will continue to offer consulting services to any school or public organization seeking assistance obtaining funds, whether from the American Rescue Plan or any other federal or state grant, said the company.
