Grants Coordination

About Us

The Office of Grants Coordination (OGC) was created on October 1, 2008, combining resources from the Office of Strategic Business Management (Revenue Maximization and Grants Coordination Division and Ryan White Program); Department of Human Services; Office of Community and Economic Development; and Park and Recreation Department, in order to manage and foster revenue maximization efforts in all County agencies and to administer the funding provided to community-based organizations (CBOs). Read the Office of Grants Coordination Business Plan. 

The Office of Grants Coordination (OGC) is responsible for the administration and monitoring of Community-based Organization (CBO) contracts including the Mom and Pop Business Grants Program to ensure compliance; provides training and technical assistance to CBOs; and identifies grant funding opportunities to maximize revenue support to County departments and community organizations.

OGC serves as a one-stop shop to manage CBO allocations and contracts; provide direct administrative support to five advisory boards (Miami-Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership, Youth Crime Task Force, CBO Advisory Board, Dade-Miami Criminal Justice Council, and Addiction Services Board); administer the federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act grant; manage other federal grants assigned to the Department; and leverage the County's limited resources through the effective development of alternative revenue sources by identifying and promoting grant and revenue generating opportunities.
