REGIONAL GRANTS NAVIGATOR
Welcome Letter
Hello and thank you for visiting the Grants website. My name is Linda Merkl, and I am the Regional Grant Navigator for Northeast Colorado Association of Local Governments
(NECALG) responsible for helping local governments navigate the following federal funding opportunities:
-
Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and Inflation
-
Reduction Act (IRA).
My position is the result of an partnership between the State of
Colorado and NECALG and was established to help you and your community identify programs and funding opportunities that can support your local projects.
We understand that navigating the billions of dollars in federal funding can be overwhelming, especially with staffing constraints you may be facing.
To help you identify federal funding opportunities that can support you, we have created this website
to serve as a one-stop grant information site.
In it you will find:
Updates: Regular updates on the most recently posted IIJA and IRA grants as well as grants, webinars, and resources that are important for Region 1.
Resources: A listing of helpful resources.
Newsletters: Copies of the monthly Regional Grants Newsletter.
If you would like to receive the newsletter please e-mail me at linda.merkl@necalg.org.
