The MML Review March-April 2022
YOUR PERSONAL CONCIERGE MAKING CONNECTIONS TO RECOVERY FUNDING ServeMICity There is a silver lining to the challenges of the pandemic. The federal and state funding now available to municipalities across Michigan is finally helping them gain traction and build for the future.
ServeMICity Assistance to Members Technical Assistance
Regional Workshops With generous support from the Kellogg Foundation, the League will provide deeper, hands-on assistance to maximize the impact of new state and federal funding. These workshops will share tangible tools and resources to help municipalities navigate creative partnerships, community engagement, complementary funding opportunities, communications and storytelling, and the technical reporting and compliance requirements of state and federal funds. Workshops are an opportunity to work with other League members to share knowledge and build relationships that will continue to serve you and your communities for years to come.
The first step in engaging with ServeMICity is through technical assistance. League members will be provided help answering questions about grant sources and application processes, accessing funding, evaluating where to invest ARP dollars, and meeting reporting requirements. Simply email servemicity@mml.org with questions or requests for help, and League staff, or contracted partners at Public Sector Consultants, will reach out directly and work with you to begin providing support. Resource Library Delve into the resource library for dynamic information to guide you on your funding journey. Multiple links, detailed pdfs and meaningful videos provide a robust foundation to help take the guesswork out of the federal and state funding process. You’ll find technical guidance documents, best practices, and questions answered on eligible activities.
