Making The Most Of Grants In State & Local Government
In this pocket guide, you’ll discover more about the philosophy and technology behind modern grants management. GovLoop teamed up with eCivis, a technology leader in full-lifecycle grants management, to put this report together, featuring insights from Chief Growth Officer James Ha and Chief Operations Officer Merril Oliver.
Citizens often take beautiful days in homey neighborhoods for granted. Daily, they stroll through pristine parks, take their children to brand-new playgrounds and ride bikes on paved trails without a second thought as to how these places came to be.
Who actually pays for all of these amenities? Usually, the government does. So when a new after-school program, highway expansion or library improves residents’ communities, citizens can see evidence of their tax dollars working for them.
Unfortunately, state and local taxes alone aren’t enough for these governments to provide a high quality of life for residents, as overarching legacy costs and scarcity of funding often put them in dire financial straits. In this case, grants often fill the gap, appropriated from higher levels of government to trickle down into local communities.
