Interactive Tool:
How Much Coronavirus Funding Has Gone to Your State?
Case Study
The Challenge
Develop an interactive map that shows dispersal of federal coronavirus relief funding by state.
The Audience
Designed as a resource for lawmakers, journalists, press and media, researchers, and the general informed public. The tool has been picked up by various local and national media outlets. Including, but not limited to, POLITICO, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, CBS Boston, The Denver Post, Vermont Digger, Arkansas Times, NBC Rhode Island, The Columbus Dispatch, The Gazette (Colorado Springs), and Washington State Wire.
The Solution
Trillions of dollars in coronavirus relief are being allocated to states, localities, businesses, citizens, school districts and healthcare systems as part of the necessary response to this pandemic.
This interactive website allows users to follow the money overall, per capita and by program; help determine its impact; understand why certain entities receive variations in funding; and see how much aid is left to be disbursed.
This site was designed as a sub page to the Foundations Understanding the Coronavirus Crisis site.
