The Office of Grants Administration (OGA) identifies funding and partnership opportunities for all
City Departments from Federal, State, Local, Foundations, and Private funding sources to maximize
revenue generating opportunities. OGA coordinates and oversees all aspects related to the writing, preparation,
and submission of grant and funding applications for City projects and initiatives. In addition,
OGA provides technical support to City Departments to ensure the implementation of policies and
practices in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and contract
stipulations. OGA also provides expertise in assessing changes, regulatory compliance, and grant
management that may impact funding. OGA also manages and administers grants and programs for citywide
initiatives: Education Initiatives, Office of Miami Sustainable Initiatives, ACCESS/Miami
Poverty Initiatives and Workforce Initiatives/CareerSource South Florida at Lindsey Hopkins Center.
The Office of Grants Administration will continue to generate financial support from external sources and coordinate internal processes towards the City’s strategic initiatives. Our efforts will provide sustainability of programs and services that will enhance the quality of life for our community.
