Grant Resources
Many local officials are familiar with GrantSource, a periodic publication from the Auditor of State's Office highlighting grant opportunities for local entities and others. Due to several factors including limited budget resources, we are discontinuing paper distribution and instead, offer this page as a portal to grant sources from various outlets. This enables the Auditor of State's Office to more cost effectively direct you to the type of information you may be seeking while making efficient use of budget resources.
