Grant Writing and Grant Management Services

The Town of Winterport, Maine is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive grant writing, research, administration, and management services. The municipality needs to identify, secure, and manage federal, state, county, foundation, and private funding opportunities to support its local projects and strategic goals. This initiative aims to establish a systematic approach to municipal funding through strategic tracking and collaborative application development. The scope of work covers four primary areas, beginning with grant research to identify applicable funding sources and assess their competitiveness. The selected contractor will prepare and submit grant applications, coordinate supporting documentation, and collaborate with town staff and committees on narratives and budgets. Additionally, the contractor will manage active grants by tracking compliance, assisting with reimbursement requests, monitoring reporting deadlines, and facilitating project closeouts. Bidders must be organizations based in the United States, as the eligibility rules restrict the opportunity to onshore entities. The chosen contractor will perform all work offsite over a contract period of one year. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is seeking pricing proposals from interested bidders to evaluate the financial feasibility of the submissions.
