RSVP Today!
If you have ever searched for, applied for, or contracted with the state through a grant, you’ve interacted with OGM policies!
Join the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, Greater Twin Cities United Way, and the Minnesota Council on Foundations for a conversation with the state’s Office of Grants Management.
The Office of Grants Management (OGM) provides statewide leadership and works in partnership with executive branch granting agencies to standardize, streamline, and improve state grantmaking practices and increase public information about state grant opportunities. Grants that are awarded from the executive branch – for example through the Department of Human Services, the Department of Employment and Economic Development, and up to 35 executive branch agencies, boards, and councils – are governed by policies set through OGM.
We’ll talk with OGM about the purpose of their office, legislative changes from the 2023 session to expand accountability and equity through the state’s grant investments, increased staffing at OGM in response to legislative changes and new/expanded responsibilities, and priorities for the year ahead. We will also discuss current opportunities for nonprofits to influence OGM’s work and possible legislative proposals in the upcoming session affecting state grant making and grant management. There will be time for audience members to ask questions.
Coffee with Commissioners is a series to support the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors’ understanding of state government. We heard great feedback from the event with Commissioner Tamar Gronvall from the MN Department of Administration back in January, and so are hosting this event to focus more closely on OGM, which is part of the Department of Administration.
