Fiscally Ready Communities - Getting Grant Ready
The Fiscally Ready Communities program was created to assist communities that want to establish, measure, and maintain policies to increase operational and financial effectiveness and safeguards.
This partnership between MSU Extension and the Michigan Department of Treasury helps local governments work towards fiscal health by sharing best practices in fiscal sustainability. These trainings help local governments work towards long-term fiscal sustainability, helping them to support thriving communities.
Getting Grant Ready

Whether you're an elected, appointed official, or staff, this session will equip you with the tools to streamline your grants process and maximize funding opportunities for your community while strengthening your unit's fiscal sustainability.
