8. Grant Update

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns the ongoing development of grant management processes within Indian River County. The county is working to establish a Grants Review Committee, draft a new Grants Policy, and research grant opportunities with various departments. This will involve coordinating grant applications and financial monitoring. The position of Budget & Grants Analyst has been filled, and the focus is on learning policies and processing reimbursements. Future steps include enrolling in a professional grants course and joining professional associations for networking and education. This early stage in policy development and grant research presents an opportunity for businesses that can assist with grant writing, financial consulting, or provide professional training and networking services related to grant management.
