Grants Streamlining
BWSR, in partnership with Minnesota Management and Budget; Management Analysis and Development (MMB;MAD), has been working to streamline our delivery and structure of grant program requirements.
The need for this work arose due to the growth in the amount of funding for various grant programs coupled with increased opportunities to work with new types of grantees beyond our local government clientele and increased oversight responsibilities over state grants from the Minnesota Office of Grants Management (OGM).
