The grant office your county isn’t staffing.
Eligibility for federal funding is spread across your departments — sheriff, health, emergency management, roads, and more. Pick your county’s size to estimate how many departments qualify, how many federal applications that is a year, and what covering all of them under one agreement would run.
Start from your population band, then fine-tune — you know your county better than an estimate does. Departments like the auditor or clerk don’t seek grants and aren’t counted.
Typical federal application is $17,400 (116 hrs × $150/hr). Complex construction & multi-track grants reach $25,000+.
Every department, one contract
The county is the contracting entity; each grant-active department gets its own pipeline under the umbrella. The bulk discount grows as you add departments.
Veteran-owned · preference
As an SBA-certified SDVOSB, NexGrant qualifies for the veteran preference many jurisdictions apply. One county-wide agreement can cover every department.
An estimate, not a quote
The core five: sheriff, health, emergency management, community development, and roads.
Department counts per population band are estimates built from the typical grant-active departments in a U.S. county (2022 Census of Governments), not a surveyed dataset — your county may differ, so adjust the slider. Grant-active means a department with a recurring federal funding cycle (sheriff, health, emergency management, community development, roads, and similar); statutory offices like the auditor or clerk are excluded. Multi-agency pricing is quoted for your county and is not published; this estimate uses one Growth seat ($545/mo) per grant-active department before any bulk discount. Consultant comparison uses $17,400 per federal application (116 hours × $150/hr). Figures are for evaluation, not a quote. See our sources.
