Join us to learn about the basics of funding opportunities through municipalities – projects through federal grants and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program can allocate a portion of its annual funding to nonprofit organizations that provide services to low to moderate income populations as well as the general population.  Many communities within Macomb County receive this funding annually from the Federal Government, and they all distribute it in slightly different ways.
