Grants Management

The Office of Grants Management (OGM) works in partnership with more than 30 state agencies and organizations to standardize, streamline, and improve state grant-making practices and increase public information about state grant opportunities. In addition to OGM’s statewide leadership role, we are also a granting agency with the statutory authority to administer and manage an approximately $41.7M grant portfolio for FY24/25 representing 53 grantees. $28.7M is for the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and $13M is for the General Fund Grant.
