The Grants Development Office is part of the College’s Division of College and Community Development.

Our Mission
The mission of HACC’s Grants Development Office is to provide information, expertise, and support in obtaining and managing grants that strengthen academic programs, foster teaching and learning, support student services or meet the needs of the community and workforce.

We also assure compliance with the laws and guidelines of appropriate regulatory agencies.

What are grants?
Grants are donations given to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations or local governments by foundations, corporations, governments, businesses, and individuals.

The process involves an applicant submitting a proposal to a potential funder, either on the applicant's own initiative or in response to a Request for Proposals from the funding agency.

Grants have conditions and restrictions attached to them. Most grants are given to fund a specific project and many require some level of reporting. The College signs a written contract before the funds are accepted.
