Grants are a crucial supplement to Laramie County operations. Grants allow us the opportunity to undertake projects that benefit our community’s infrastructure, safety and livelihood. Laramie County receives and applies for Federal, State and local grants for activities ranging from Homeland Security and Victim Services to Road Construction and economic development.

The Grants Manager is an employee of the Board of Commissioners responsible for working with the County Clerk’s Finance Office and various agencies that receive grant funds through the Board of Commissioners. Grant Management includes the responsibility to spend money wisely and to know grant guidelines that vary with each grant. The Board of Commissioners, as the policy making and budget setting branch of County government, is the authority under which grants are applied for and managed.

In the past four years, the amount of grants under County management has grown from around $1,500,000 to nearly $30,000,000. This is mostly due to funds received from the Federal Recovery Act and State County Consensus Block Grants.

The Grants Manager researches various grant opportunities and tries to match these prospects up with specific County goals and projects. Undertaking of grants in Laramie County is a team effort with many qualified players that ensure the success of the grant funds.
