FY 2023/24 Proposed Budget
The City of Fort Bragg actively seeks grants to augment ongoing revenue sources.

All-City departments are involved in seeking and administering grants, and the City has invested considerable resources to ensure sufficient staffing and training to write successful grant applications, implement grant-funded activities, and meet fiscal monitoring and reporting requirements.
