Many community action plans stall or are dismissed too quickly due to lack of funding or support. Winning Communities will work to ensure that your community’s important goals are realized by assisting with identifying funding sources such as community development grants for community projects.

As your community consultant, Winning Communities can help you:

  • Brainstorm possible sources of local, regional and national grant funding
  • Connect the community with organizations that may assist with grant funding, such as foundations, business owners or endowments
  • Write and submit grant applications or grant proposals for funding projects
  • Follow through to ensure that the community receives the funding it seeks for the community plan or project
Don’t let the overwhelming details of writing and submitting a grant proposal prevent your community from achieving its goals. Winning Communities can help your city, town or county through this process of grant writing and submission and help you  get the funding you need. Contact your community consultant, Jim Dittoe, to learn more.
