Grant Services

Region 9 will partner with governments and community groups that align with our mission, helping access funding for projects of economic benefit to a community. Our ability to help any entity is subject to available capacity and the priorities as listed below. We provide these services free of charge to our member governments. For other groups we have a sliding scale fee structure.

The State of Colorado through the Governor’s Office has allocated funds for 14 Regional Grant Navigator (RGN) positions across the state. Their roles are to develop a thorough understanding of the grant funding opportunities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA or “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”), as well as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and to assist municipalities, counties, and special districts in connecting to funding opportunities from these acts. Our community grant writer, Tiffany Brodersen, serves in this role for Region 9.

Our services include:

Researching grants and other funding opportunities.
Developing grant writing plans.
Proofreading and reviewing grant applications.
Assisting organizations to review and/or complete grant reports.
Provide pass-through and fiscal agent referrals for grants and organizations.
Grant-writing per guidelines below.
**All services are offered on a first come first serve basis and determined by the following.

Do you have a grant opportunity identified?

Does the funding opportunity you are seeking require matching funds? If so, do you have matching funds secured?
Is the project for a local government entity or regional initiative?
Is the project part of your Community Development Action Plan? (CDAP)
Is your government entity or board supporting this project, grant application, and any necessary matching funds?
Non-government organizations will be charged a fee for grant writing services. (To learn more about our fee structure click the link below).

If we already committed to assisting another entity with an application to the same funding source, if all partners agree, and if applicable, we can explore combining the two applications to be more competitive.
