Fourteen Regional Grant Navigators (RGN) have been funded by the Governor's Office to work out of Councils of Government across the state. Their roles are to develop a thorough understanding of the grant funding opportunities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA or “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and to assist local governments and Tribes in accessing funding from these acts.
Below is a full list of the Regional Grant Navigators and the regions they represent. If you are a community in Colorado looking to engage with your RGN, please use the contact information below to get in touch with the person who represents your region.
