Grant Tip of the Week
Every Tuesday, at the end of each Cities Connect Call, a member of the GMA Research Team will share a grant tip – prompting your city to think about or act on a key step in the grant writing and administration process. This may also be a reminder about an upcoming deadline or an idea to get your city thinking.
Grant Tip of the Week is part of a broader initiative by GMA to better support cities looking to apply for state, federal or other grants.
The slides from the Cities Connect Call will be uploaded to this page weekly.
