Approve 18 firms for on-call grant writing services through 2027
In Plain English
The city wants to hire outside experts to help departments apply for grants from federal, state, and private sources. The previous list of approved grant writers expired in December 2023. If approved, each firm can earn up to $100,000 annually helping city departments secure funding that reduces reliance on local tax money.
