Case Study: Kalamazoo County CASA achieves streamlined, compliant ARPA grant management with AmpliFund

How Kalamazoo County Took Charge of Their ARPA Funding with AmpliFund

Kalamazoo County CASA, led by Finance Director Amanda Morse, faced a sudden influx of $51 million in ARPA (SLFRF) funds and found their legacy financial system and spreadsheets insufficient for tracking awards, applications, workflows, and compliance reporting. To replace paper-based processes and gain the visibility needed to manage and distribute grants, they turned to AmpliFund’s purpose-built grant management platform.

AmpliFund implemented a configurable solution that centralized grant data, enabled customized applications and automated workflows, and allowed the Board to review and score applications while importing application data into grant agreements. The platform gave Kalamazoo County CASA real-time visibility into award status, amendments, documentation, reimbursements, and responsibilities, helping them meet reporting deadlines for the $51M in ARPA funds, improve internal communication, and free staff time to focus on program impact.
