The Department of Administration posts opportunities for competitive grants throughout each fiscal year. These competitive grants are awarded through an application process to applicants that most closely meet the selection criteria. The requests for proposals (RFP) are publicized here via the Department of Administration's website, as well as on the MN Grants website at http://mn.gov/grants and the MN Legacy website at www.legacy.leg.mn/opportunities-funding.
Community Grant Reviewer Opportunity
The Office of Grants Management is seeking people to volunteer and participate in our grantmaking process by serving as community reviewers who will read and evaluate grant proposals. Veterans and people with experience in developing Veterans memorials, commemorations, facilities, and park features are in a unique position to contribute to our grantmaking process and help to make decisions to distribute Legacy grants to local units of government, nonprofits, or other community-based groups for Veterans memorials to celebrate, recognize, and honor the sacrifices of those who served in the military.
