Well, cities have their own unlock codes, too, and resourceful planners and designers have begun discovering them. Whether it’s repurposing a billboard to act as a humidity collection system for clean drinking water in Lima, Peru, or integrating Wi-Fi capabilities into

Grant Writing Made Easy

JUNE 30, 2022

I want to help you write successful grants because I know the work you do matters. And I know that a lot of the grant writing advice out there isn’t going to get you the results you want. Why? Because it’s piecemeal. It elevates one or two actions as quick fixes. But the reality is that it takes a lot more to write successful grants than just knowing where to look for them or having the writing skills to craft a compelling proposal.

Taking this frantic approach is a recipe for burnout. Plain and simple. It’s also not going to get you the results you want.

Local governments and municipalities serving populations under 200,000 face distinctive challenges in delivering efficient and effective services to their communities. To overcome these challenges, many rely on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems tailored to their specific needs. Not all ERP systems are created equal, and some may hinder progress rather than support it.

Government agencies that rely on tax revenue to fund critical services and infrastructure are finding it more urgent than ever to bridge the gap between under-reported tax revenue and taxpayers’ understanding of the processes. This is especially true as things like short-term rentals (STRs) have grown in popularity and become new sources of income for residents.
