Southern Iowa Council of Governments

Grants and Funding Resources

As a service to member governments, SICOG staff are available to prepare grant applications as requested. Staff members have experience in writing applications for infrastructure including public facilities (e.g. water and sewer), public safety, transportation, recreation and open space, housing rehabilitation, and economic development projects. Depending upon the funding program and application process, staff assistance may require a separate contract.

Southern Iowa Council of Governments prepares grant applications and administers funded grants for our communities. Grant applications for our local governments and their departments are prepared free of charge. Grant applications for local non-profit and other groups can be prepared by COG staff for a charge depending on the application.

The SICOG also administers grants awarded to cities including those funded by the Iowa Department of Economic Development, FEMA, and USDA. The cost for grant administration varies depending on the project and the program regulations, but most administrative fees are covered under the grants themselves.
