Uncover Opportunities to Capture More Stimulus Dollars
Thanks to the passage of the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009, commonly known as the Economic Stimulus Bill, $60-$80 billion in government funding is now available for public-sector technology purchases. To help you take advantage of this historic opportunity, Ingram Micro has created IMStimulus, a complete service program that includes business intelligence, lead generation and comprehensive grant services.
Because the IT portion of the stimulus package is split approximately 60/40 between appropriated budgets and grants, IMStimulus comprises two parts: IMGrants, which tracks grant opportunities, and a separate tracking program for non-grant opportunities. Between the two, our customers are connected to all available IT stimulus dollars, allowing them to compete for and win a larger share of funds to drive sales in the broadband, education, energy, healthcare, infrastructure and public safety markets.
How Does the Program Work?
Support for IMGrants is provided through Ingram Micro's industry-leading
business intelligence group, as well as through our partnership with Rochester,
N.Y.-based Grants Office, a leader in grants intelligence.
Solution providers sign up for the program by purchasing a SKU for each
of their sales representatives who will be participating. Ingram Micro
generates a scrubbed list of high-potential customers who have purchased
from the solution provider in the last year, along with a technology sheet
suggesting possible technology solutions for those customers. The list
is then sent to Grants Office, which matches each customer with available
grants and works with the solution provider to determine how to proceed.
Solution providers who go on to win bids and fulfill the purchase orders
through Ingram Micro are eligible to receive credit for the cost of the
original program SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the program last?
The main IMStimulus program will run at least through the end of 2010
to ensure that our partners can take full advantage of stimulus opportunities.
The IMGrants portion of the program will continue indefinitely.
What are the benefits to solution providers?
By participating in IMStimulus, solution providers not only get access
to funding that can help drive sales, but also gain the ability to position
themselves as consultants to their customers. Rather than waiting for
an RFP and competing with other solution providers on price, they can
help craft the solution from the ground up and tailor the RFP to increase
their chances of winning.
What does the IMGrants service include?
Subscribers receive assistance with funding research and information through
the IMGrants help desk; 24/7 access to the Online Knowledge Base at imgrants.com;
and invitations to exclusive monthly updates on grants-related topics.
Are grant-writing services available?
Grant writing is not included in the base program SKU, but is available
as an add-on. Grant-writing services are provided through Grants Office.
