Pathways to Funding
Pathway One:
Grant to Nonprofit or Tribal Government
- Nonprofits and Tribal governments can be appropriated general fund cash for a capital project that serves a public purpose.
- The nonprofit or Tribal government requests the funding and is the grantee and owner of the project.
The nonprofit or Tribal government follows the instructions on this webpage for more information about the steps in the process for submitting a direct request, the request form, and the requirements checklist.
Pathway Two:
Grant to Political Subdivision and Use Agreement
- Political subdivisions, such as cities, counties, and townships, can be appropriated general obligation bond and general fund dollars for a capital project that serves a public purpose.
- The political subdivision requests the funding and is the grantee and owner of the project.
- A political subdivision enters into an agreement, called a “use agreement,” with an outside entity, such as a nonprofit or less commonly a Tribal government, to operate the capital project’s program.
The political subdivision follows the instructions on the separate capital budget webpage for more information about timelines, how to submit a request in the Capital Budget System (CBS), and the requirements checklist.
