Two Birds, One Grant:
Maximizing Grant Impact for Resilience and Beyond
Presented by Harrison Newton and Monica Cardin, Hagerty Consulting



The most effective grants can be those that accomplish multiple goals simultaneously, whether for resilience measures, economic development, housing opportunities, or critical infrastructure like roads and rails. This session will help attendees understand how to craft projects and grant applications that achieve multiple community goals, increase the likelihood of success, and gain a return on investment from the grant-writing process. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Increase awareness of how communities can use grants to support strategic planning, budget planning, capital planning, and other government-wide processes

  • Show examples of how projects can be designed and grant applications can be written to achieve multiple community goals and objectives

  • Understand how to use the grant-writing process to build relationships with partners, plan for the future, and achieve goals beyond seeking grant funding
