Federal Grants for Election Infrastructure Webinar Series

We understand that as you wait for elections appropriations, doing your own research about additional grant opportunities can be overwhelming. That's why we’ve launched a new webinar series, the Federal Grants Election Infrastructure Webinar Series, hosted by CTCL and the Election Infrastructure Initiative, and led by national federal grants expert, Dan Meuse, where we’ll share our expertise in navigating the application process for upcoming federal grant opportunities.

Throughout 2024 there will be a number of federal grant opportunities we'll identify and share. These federal funding opportunities support the infrastructure of government operations and elections administration is a core government operation and would likely be eligible for funding under a number of funding opportunities.

As new opportunities arise, we’ll hold webinars that will cover the application process and share sample grant application content, as well as discuss inspiration for what the federal grant funds can be used for. To ensure you receive an invitation to this ongoing webinar series, please sign up for our ELECTricity newsletter.

The BRIC program is investing $1 billion in public infrastructure funds across the country, including $701 million in competitive grants to ensure that local jurisdictions can increase resilience of critical services from natural hazards. As a core element of government function, elections are a critical service and eligible for this government funding. The grant deadline is February 29, 2024.
