11. So how does that help?

12. Leverage Make a little money go further. Lay the groundwork to be competitive for grants when they come available. Aggressively pursue opportunities, but make certain your project qualifies well. Find other money to match federal money.

13. Partnerships It’s good to have friends. Seek out cost sharing opportunities both within and outside your organization. Look across the lines in your department, your municipality, and your neighbors. Ask other interested and associated parties to apply for you (within the bounds of the law). Make your partners look good.

16. Multiple Sources Several small sums can add up. You may never receive enough to fully fund a big project. Find as many complimentary grants and loans as possible and apply; just make sure your project is competitive and your time frames align. Be as patient as your project and the grant agencies can be. Don’t chase funds that are more trouble than they’re worth.

19. Multiple Approaches Different approaches can add up too. Sometimes it takes more than one approach and a combination of grants, loans, and local money. Sometimes it takes a different delivery approach. Faster can save money by delivering the project sooner, or financing the project less expensively.
