Grant-writing assistance opportunities

The League’s MAS program, in collaboration with Witt O’Brien’s grant management team, supports NC towns by guiding them in the preparation and submission of successful grant applications. We are inviting towns who are interested in securing funding for a number of specific grant opportunities to participate in this program.

The League’s partnership with Witt O’Brien’s ensures that local governments have the expertise and resources needed to secure critical funding for infrastructure and community development projects. The League is prepared to work with interested towns by providing grant-writing services through Witt O’Brien’s. Interested towns should reach out to MAS@nclm.org for more information about how to participate. The grants available are listed below along with detailed information for each opportunity.

More than $3 million in grant funds have already been secured through the League's grant-writing assistance service line. One particular grant opportunity is through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) initiative, which provides funding for the planning and development of safer streets in our communities with a goal of stopping preventable deaths on our nation’s roadways. Notably, our grant-writing program has already helped secure more than $750,000 in SS4A grants.

Grant-writing in action

Last year, Hope Mills in Cumberland County received $96,000 in an SS4A grant that will be used to develop a new Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to help jumpstart significant improvements to several of the town’s streets. Town Manager Chancer McLaughlin emphasized the importance of the MAS grant-writing program as it has opened funding opportunities that would have otherwise been out of reach.
