- Grants Process Guide: The Grants Process Guide is a practical, plain‑language resource to demystify the social service grant procurement lifecycle. The guide walks readers through each phase of the grant lifecycle — from early planning, to applying for funding, to finalizing agreements — and explains what to expect at every step. This document aims to make the process more transparent, predictable, and easier to understand for both City staff and grantseekers.
