The purpose of the Michigan Infrastructure Office Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is to provide technical assistance, planning, and matching grants to local units of government, planning organizations, and federally recognized Tribal nations to help draw federal infrastructure money to Michigan’s communities.
TAC provides a suite of resources to support Michigan communities in applying for federal grant funding. TAC is continuing to build out the full range of resources. TAC currently offers three key support services: grant identification, grant writing, and match funding. These three services will be available to eligible recipients by an application to TAC. Full guidance for these services is available here. TAC will continue to expand support offerings for additional entities in the future.

TAC will be accepting applications from April 14, 2025 to April 30, 2025, 11:59PM, for grant identification, grant writing, and match funding support to access federal funding for infrastructure projects. MIO TAC is offering technical assistance for grants we anticipate becoming available Spring, 2025. Not all NOFOs are published at time of Window opening. We are selecting grants that we anticipate NOFOs being released. Potential applicants can review past NOFOs and TAC Fact Sheets but note that new NOFOs are expected to update criteria based on current federal priorities. As they are released, TAC will link applicable NOFOs on its website and update Fact Sheets. Please also refer to grants.gov and other source materials for the latest information on NOFOs. Applications for technical assistance and match funding support for TAC Window 2 2025 must be submitted by April 30th, 2025. Additional application windows will be offered throughout the year with dates to be determined. To see more on the full list of grants in TAC Window 2 2025, and to learn how to apply click here.

This table outlines the release of 8 federal Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) which will continue to be released through Spring/ Summer 2025. In order to support grant writing applications that are most likely to attain federal funding, the State will prioritize projects that it deems to be viable and competitive for the relevant funding opportunities. Projects that are not considered competitive (due to project readiness or other reasons) may be considered for other forms of technical support to help make the project more competitive for future funding rounds.
