“Mission nevada grantlab helps nonprofit and public agencies successfully access and manage federal grants that benefit nevadans and strengthen their organizations. Problem statement federal funding plays a vital role in building resilient, inclusive communities and economies throughout the united states, but not so much here in nevada where we have historically secured among the lowest amounts of federal grant funding in the country, despite having among the highest needs. In fact, nevada ranks 45th nationally in federal grant spending per capita, collecting some 800 less per person per year than the national average (guinn center for policy priorities, may 2021) and forgoes more than half a billion dollars in funding annually (lincy institute, june 2014). Nevada receives among the lowest per capita federal grant spending. As a result, nonprofit and public agencies have much less to invest in community programs and projects (ranging from affordable housing to workforce development), contributing to poor outcomes in child wellbeing, health care, education, and many other human services areas. Chief causes for our underperformance include: inadequate grants infrastructure (e.g., professionals, positions, and technology) and training; antiquated grants processes and policies (especially within state government); low prioritization or support for grants work; and, too little collaboration and coordination among organizations.”

“Data, engagement, and policy: coordination, outreach, and public policy activities that support service providers and stakeholders to better understand and utilize federal grant resources that can address nevadan's critical needs and opportunities.”
