Scout IIJA Competitive Grants Tracker
Municipalities and counties across the country have the opportunity to make transformative investments in their communities. To amplify those investments, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) has created competitive grant opportunities for local communities to seek additional funding. A searchable database of available IIJA grants is available below. To find out more about Scout's work to support and track innovative investments in our community and beyond, see our ARPA tracker, or visit us at our website.
