📅 Finance Friday Tip 💡 Don’t lose funding over missing documentation. Before applying for federal or state grants, make sure you: ✅ Have a current SAM.gov registration ✅ Can produce recent audits or financial reviews ✅ Have clearly defined project goals & budgets 📁 A pre-prepped “grant-ready” packet = faster applications and better chances of winning. Being ready before the RFP drops puts your town ahead of the game. 🏁 #FinanceFriday #LocalGovGrants #GrantWriting #FundingSuccess #TipsFromYourEDD (fb)
