2016 Funding and Technical Assistance Handbook for Delaware Local Governments

Abstract
The Institute for Public Administration (IPA) at the School of Public Policy & Administration at the University of Delaware is pleased to provide an updated 2016 Funding and Technical Assistance Handbook for Delaware Local Governments. The handbook is another resource developed by IPA for Delaware local governments that are seeking assistance in the form of grants, loans, technical assistance, training, and advisory services. The 2016 edition of the handbook is being made available online in portable document format (PDF). The handbook will be updated bi-annually and maintained as a digital document. Because many financial and technical assistance programs are subject to change based on federal or state legislation, appropriations, or budget allocation decisions, potential applicants are advised to call the respective contact person listed for each assistance program. The handbook is organized into four sections. The first section lists federal programs that have traditionally provided technical assistance or funding opportunities to Delaware local governments. For more comprehensive information on federal funding opportunities, please refer to the online Catalog for Federal Domestic Assistance www.cfda.gov and www.grants.gov. The second section contains information on state programs that provide funding or technical assistance. The third section provides information on public service programs through the University of Delaware that provide local government assistance. The final section highlights funding opportunities from organizations that cannot be categorized in the previous sections, such as regional and local nonprofit organizations. IPA would like to acknowledge and thank all the agency contacts who graciously provided updated program information for the 2016 edition, particularly the Office of State Planning and Coordination. The 2016 Funding and Technical Assistance Handbook for Delaware Local Governments was prepared by a team of IPA staff and student “Public Administration Fellows.” Alexa Scoglietti coordinated the project along with Public Administration Fellows Scott Eisenhart, Saran Singh, and Gemma Tierney. IPA staff involved with this handbook included Policy Scientists Martin Wollaston and Marcia Scott. Finally, thanks also goes to IPA Director Jerome Lewis who allocated staffing resources for creating and updating the handbook, Policy Scientist Lisa Moreland and Associate Policy Scientist William DeCoursey for editing, and Policy Specialist II Sarah Pragg for her assistance in designing the handbook.
