Case Study: New Castle County processes emergency federal grant funds with SimpliGov

SimpliGov Enables New Castle County To Distribute $322M In CARES Act Funds

New Castle County faced the immense challenge of administering over $300 million in CARES Act funds, a grant more than ten times larger than any it had previously managed. The county needed a robust system to handle complex, frequently changing federal compliance requirements and ensure accurate tracking of reimbursements. To meet this need, they turned to SimpliGov for its government process automation platform.

By implementing SimpliGov's solution, the county automated its grant distribution workflow. The platform's customizable forms, remote access, and automated correspondence streamlined the entire process, from application to the generation of certification letters. SimpliGov’s dashboard also provided full transparency for auditing. As a result, New Castle County successfully distributed $322.8 million through over 1,000 grants, passed a rigorous federal audit, and delivered critical emergency services to its community.
