Case Study: Nebraska Department of Economic Development achieves streamlined, audit-ready digital grant management with AmpliFund

How The State of Nebraska Department of Economic Development Ushered in a Digital Transformation with AmpliFund

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development faced a fragmented grants-management environment while overseeing nearly $843 million in ARPA and state funding and $109 million in CDBG‑DR funds, including the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF). Prior to implementing AmpliFund, the Department relied on multiple systems and spreadsheets for applications, scoring, post‑award monitoring and reporting, which created duplicative data entry, risk of corrupted files, overwhelming paperwork, storage burdens, and audit challenges.

AmpliFund implemented a purpose‑built grants management system that centralized application, scoring, monitoring and reporting into a single source of truth. As a result, AmpliFund enabled digital reporting throughout the award lifecycle, clearer accountability and milestones, faster and more professional audits, and eliminated the need to retain “hundreds of boxes” of paper—freeing space and giving the Department better visibility into program outcomes.
