GRANT WRITING & ADMINISTRATION

Region XII Council of Governments prepares grant applications and administers funded grants for our communities. Grant applications for our local governments and their affiliated departments are prepared free of charge. Grant applications for local non-profit and other groups can be prepared by COG staff for a charge depending on the application.

The COG also administers grants awarded to cities. including those funded by the Iowa Economic Development Authority, FEMA, HUD, DOT, and USDA. The cost for grant administration varies depending on the project and the program regulations, but most administrative fees are covered under the grants themselves.
