Governor's Grants Office

Our Mission

In furtherance of its mission, the GGO leads the Governor’s Federal Investment Team (FIT), a working group made up of designees representing each state agency that meets bi-weekly to share updates, elevate challenges, and exchange insight, experience, and best practices. The overarching goal of the Governor’s FIT Team—and the GGO as a whole—is to facilitate inter-agency collaboration and promote an integrated, whole-of-state approach to leveraging as many federal dollars as possible for the State of Maryland.

The GGO also maintains this online directory of funding-related resources available to the public through Maryland’s state agencies and the federal government.
