Grant Overview

Data Systems for Tracking Economic Impact of Equity Programs

The legalization of cannabis has brought with it an imperative to ensure that the benefits of this burgeoning sector extend to historically marginalized communities. A key focus of current funding initiatives is the establishment of data systems that track the economic impact of equity programs aimed at easing access for these communities into the legal cannabis industry. This funding covers aspects such as the development of online platforms for data collection, tools for analyzing economic outcomes, and methods for community feedback integration. It excludes funding for general media campaigns or unrelated promotional efforts.

An exemplary use case of this funding can be seen in a local jurisdiction implementing a digital platform to monitor job creation resulting from cannabis equity programs. By tracking employment data, local governments can assess the program's effectiveness and make informed policy decisions. Another scenario would involve a municipality applying for funding to create a dashboard that aggregates revenue and community investment metrics, enabling policymakers to visualize the economic benefits directly associated with these equity initiatives.

Eligible applicants include local governments and agencies that seek to enhance their capacity to assess and report on the efficacy of equity programs. Additionally, organizations focusing on economic justice and equity in cannabis can apply. However, entities that do not have a clear operational plan or a vested interest in supporting affected communities may find it difficult to qualify. Moreover, grants for unrelated economic development efforts are also excluded.

The alignment factors focus on an organization or agency's readiness to deploy effective data systems and the potential for leveraging the collected data towards actionable insights in policy-making. Entities that demonstrate a clear connection between their funding request and the specific outcomes in cannabis equity will be more favorable candidates for this funding.
