An overview of the program timeline is available Welcome to the Grants for Local Projects program, an initiative dedicated to supporting organizations in their pursuit of construction projects with a statewide public purpose. We are excited to collaborate with you to create a positive impact on communities across Wisconsin.
The program was continued by 2025 Wisconsin Act 15 , which provides: Purpose: The program offers funding to organizations for capital infrastructure projects that benefit the broader public. Eligible Organizations: Entities eligible for grants are non-state organizations that are not a for-profit entity. Examples of eligible organizations include local governments and nonprofits.
Match Requirement: To be eligible for a grant, organizations must have funding in hand from nonstate revenue sources covering at least half of the total project cost at the time of application. Accountability: The state will retain an ownership interest in the project equivalent to the grant amount to ensure it fulfills its public purpose. As such, if a grant-funded project deviates from its public purpose, the amount can be recouped.
To implement this, the ownership interest will take the form of a warranty deed, and a 20-year land use restriction agreement (LURA) will be recorded with the county register of deeds. Due to anticipated high demand, project awards will be capped at $2 million. The Department of Administration (DOA) will review applications and submit a recommended award package to the State Building Commission for its approval.
Upon award and a fully executed grant agreement and land use restriction agreement (LURA), the DOA will disburse the grant funds as reimbursements for eligible expenses associated with the project.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Non-state organizations that are not a for-profit entity, such as local governments and nonprofits. A match requirement of at least half of the total project cost from non-state revenue sources is necessary. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
