Phone Call Scam Alert: We are aware of reported phone calls that claim to be from the state of Minnesota asking state vendors to update banking information.
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) and other state agencies will never send vendors unsolicited messages asking for banking information.

Topic: Federal Shutdown/Continuing Resolution Update
The Federal Funds Implementation Team provides a suite of zero-cost consultative services to Minnesota entities as they pursue and manage federal grant funding. These services are available for state agencies, local units of government, Tribal nations, nonprofits and businesses that operate in the State of Minnesota and that serve Minnesota residents. There are three categories of services:
Federal Grant Readiness: baseline readiness assessments, funding strategy support, training on the navigation of federal funding databases and structures
Federal Pre-Award Development: research on eligibility and the availability of funding opportunities, project planning, application consultation and review
Federal Award Management Best Practices: support in establishing compliant communication, documentation, reporting and other grant management practices based on terms and conditions and available federal guidance
By requesting services, you acknowledge the following:
The Federal Funds Implementation Team operates with limited capacity and their support is subject to availability, alignment with state priorities, and the time required to fulfill the request.
The Federal Funds Implementation Team cannot guarantee successful funding as a result of consultation or services.
The Federal Funds Implementation Team is offering these services on a consultative basis and will not complete work on the entity's behalf.
Entities must only provide the Federal Funds Implementation Team with publicly available data throughout the engagement process.
Federal Funding Disruptions, Cancellations, and Court-Impacted Actions
The Federal Funds Implementation Team is monitoring changes in the federal landscape that impact funding in Minnesota. The tracking documents below contain information on programs impacted by the federal shutdown as well as temporarily disrupted, permanently cancelled, and court-impacted access to federal grants at Minnesota state agencies. The shutdown impact tracker includes current service impacts and does not reflect anticipated future impacts of the federal shutdown. The disruptions and cancellations are funds that flow through state government entities and do not reflect the totality of disrupted funds across Minnesota. The tracking documents are updated every Tuesday and Friday and are intended for informational use.
