Ideas
Help a Municipality Get Help
Bloomberg Philanthropies has launched the Local Infrastructure Hub, to ensure that all U.S. cities and towns can access federal infrastructure funding to drive local recovery, strengthen communities and deliver more equitable results for residents. It is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Emerson Collective, the Ford Foundation, and The Kresge Foundation. Let your favorite local government navigate the grants available to them and craft strong applications. Results for America will join with the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities in leading the Hub and supporting local governments – especially underserved small and mid-sized cities – to improve their chances of being awarded federal resources.

ALN Spring 2022 Web Summit: Microgrid Asset Leadership
May 24 – 26
Microgrids are local energy grids that may connect to, and disconnect from, traditional wide-area electric grids, and are valued for power reliability at critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, water treatment plants, in disaster recovery areas, and after armed conflicts, like in Ukraine.
A structured approach to asset management combined with Microgrid innovation will help leaders understand how to gain dramatic benefits in support of mission sustainability.
