The Division of Grants Coordination (DGC) carries out two functions.

  1. It coordinates the grants process for grants coming from outside grantors to Metro government, grants designed to promote innovations, enhanced services, and professional development within local government. Related tasks include:
    • assisting departments with identifying funding opportunities, fostering collaborations and developing sound proposals
    • serving as a "gatekeeper" and monitor of grants as they move through the Metro approval process
    • developing and implementing policies & procedures for grants to Metro providing technical assistance and grants-related training to departments
    • maintaining a database of Metro's grants
    • acting as a liaison between user departments and the Finance Department on grants-related matters.
  2. It coordinates the competitive application and contracting processes for the Community Enhancement Fund grants, and the contracting process for Direct Appropriations, both made by Metro to local non-profit organizations.

Who's Who

While any one of the DGC staff can assist with any grants-related matter, each has a specialty.
