The RESNA Technical Assistance Project has compiled information on state financing activities, one of the four State Level activities to which states must dedicate a minimum of 60% of their funding under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended. That information is found in the following sections:
- Background
- What Makes a Good State Financing Activity

- Cooperative Buying Program (Maryland)

- Alternative Financing Programs
Under the AT Act of 1998, as amended, states can support alternative financing programs to purchase AT through a low interest loan fund, an interest buy-down program, a revolving loan fund, a loan guarantee program or other program. This link provides Information about existing Alternative Financing Programs.
- Feasibility Studies for Alternative Financing
The AT Act of 1998, as amended allows statewide AT programs to conduct an initial 1-year feasibility study concerning an alternative financing system. This link provides information about planning and conducting a study.
