The selected consultant will provide comprehensive grant services to support the City of Indio’s efforts in identifying, applying for, and managing grant funding opportunities. The scope of work includes researching and monitoring grant opportunities at the federal, state, regional, and private levels that align with the City’s strategic priorities. The consultant will prepare monthly reports summarizing relevant funding opportunities and work closely with City staff to assess eligibility and suitability. The consultant will also be responsible for developing complete and competitive grant applications, including all required narratives, forms, budgets, letters of support, and attachments. In addition, the consultant may be asked to support post-award grant administration activities, such as preparing reports, maintaining documentation, and ensuring compliance with grant terms and conditions. The City also expects the consultant to advise departments on grant planning strategies and to provide technical assistance during project development and budgeting phases when related to potential or active grant-funded initiatives.
