IIJA and IRA Grant Writing and Technical Assistance Program to Governor Polis Announces Technical Assistance Program for Local Governments, Tribes, and Special Districts Governor Polis, in partnership with the State Legislature and Department of Local Affairs, announced the IIJA and IRA Grant Writing and Technical Assistance Program to help local governments access funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
“We want to ensure that Colorado continues to punch above our weight in drawing down critical federal funds. By offering support for grant writing and project planning, local governments and Tribes will have more tools to access funding and create a stronger future for our great state,” said Governor Jared Polis.
Funding for this program comes from SB22-215 and SB23-283, sponsored by Senators Zenzinger and Bridges and Representatives Bird and Sirota, which established the IIJA Cash Fund. The program offers four assistance options, ranging from independent review to full grant writing support and project planning assistance. Applicants can request a combination of project planning and grant writing support in a single application.
Counties, Municipalities, Special Districts and Tribes with limited budgets and grant writing capacity, especially those identified as disadvantaged or disproportionately impacted communities, are eligible to apply.
Tools such as the Climate and Economic Justice (CEJST) Screening Tool, the federal Notice of Funding Opportunity guidelines, U.S. Census, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and and Environment Enviroscreen can be used to demonstrate community needs. The assistance is available only to apply for federal funds available through IIJA and IRA.

On June 8, HHS and GSA launched a new Grants Management Special Item Number — SIN 518210GM — creating a government-wide buying lane for modern, standards-compliant grants software tied to more than $1.2 trillion in annual awards. It reads like procurement plumbing. For grantees, govtech vendors, and the future of grant data interoperability, it is anything but.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
