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.

This table outlines the release of 8 federal Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) which will continue to be released through Spring 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.
The Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) for the targeted grants is from January 24th, 2025, but may be subject to change. Please refer to grants.gov and other source material for the latest information on NOFOs.
