Grant Opportunities Worksheet
Grant opportunities are abundant but determining which is appropriate for your project is often incredibly challenging. Our consultants have created the linked worksheet that includes a listing of current State and Federal grants they believe are most appropriate for the SCRCOG municipalities. The linked document provides a brief grant description, provides application deadlines, and offers a category of applicability (i.e., affordable housing, open space etc.).

Best Practices Checklist (BPC)
The grants administration best practices checklist (related to the establishment of general policies and procedures for management of grant related activities by a municipal entity) was prepared by SCRCOG consultants as a component of the two hybrid Municipal Grant Training Initiative sessions held in May and June of 2022. The BPC covers, in step-by-step fashion, project prioritization, grant application and management all the way through to the closing of the grant.
