Identify the purpose of the identified grant

Identify the purpose of the identified grant

In the Unit 8 assignment, you were asked to recommend specific cuts to a departmental budget. Many public departments actively pursue grants to fund some aspects of their service delivery. The need for this might have greater salience when tax revenue streams are reduced. In this assignment, you are to reflect upon the budget cuts recommended in the Unit 8 assignment, identifying specific grants that might be sought to fill the newly created need.

For this assignment:

• Analyze the potential costs and benefits of seeking grant funding to support public sector operations in both the short and the long term.
• Identify a specific grant that might be used to fill all or some of the budget gap created by the budget cuts proposed in the Unit 8 assignment.
• Identify the purpose of the identified grant, analyzing how your identified budget needs (function or target audience) are aligned with the purpose of the identified grant.
• Evaluate how the grant, if fully funded, would fill the budget gap created by the proposed budget cuts identified in the Unit 8 assignment in a partial or complete manner.

Be sure to follow an academic writing style through well-organized prose and follow APA style, citation, and referencing guidelines.

Review the Grants Scoring Guide carefully before crafting your assignment, contacting your instructor if you have any questions.
