About this program
The Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices distributes funds under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CFDA 21.029) to states, U.S. territories, freely associated states, and tribal governments for critical capital projects that directly enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to COVID-19, with the most recent grant award on May 9, 2025. This program is a temporary, non-renewable effort and will make no new awards in FY 2025.
The program funds construction and deployment of broadband infrastructure designed to deliver symmetrical download and upload speeds of at least 100 Mbps, as well as capital projects addressing COVID-19-related needs in work, education, and health monitoring for underserved and unserved populations, particularly in rural America and low- to moderate-income communities. Eligible recipients may use subrecipients to carry out projects. The program consists entirely of Formula Grants (100% of 616 total awards) distributed under a fixed allocation structure: each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico receives a minimum of $100 million; the remaining funds are allocated based on statutory formula. U.S. territories and freely associated states share $100 million equally, and tribal governments and the State of Hawaii receive $100 million in equal shares, with each tribal government receiving not less than $50,000.
The Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices is the sole funding source, obligating $10 billion across all 616 awards since the program's inception in February 2022. Award activity has declined sharply: 216 awards in 2022, 377 in 2023, 4 in 2024, and 19 in 2025. Individual recent awards range from $167,504 to $189,324. All funds must be expended by December 31, 2026. No new grant opportunities are currently open, and no recent solicitations exist to pursue.
