What We Do

LITACorp’s mission is to advance the economic prosperity of Louisiana communities.

 Established by ACT No. 497 in the 2022 Regular Session, the Louisiana State Legislature authorized the Political Subdivision Federal Grant Assistance Fund (§100.192) “to assist political subdivisions with competitive federal grant opportunities made pursuant to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58)”

 As a result of this legislation, a collaborative partnership between the Louisiana Municipal Association and Police Jury Association of Louisiana established LITACorp, a new nonprofit organization, to administer these funds on behalf of the Division of Administration.

 Beginning in 2023, LITACorp will launch two new programs to provide technical assistance and matching funds to local governments, especially those located in rural and economically distressed areas.

 More information about each program is available below.

Technical Assistance Program

In June 2023, LITACorp will launch its Technical Assistance Program (TAP) to provide services that include, but are not limited to, the following: strategic planning, project development, funding identification, grant writing, grant administration, and more.

Interested communities must submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) to LITACorp via its online portal to be considered for technical assistance services.

LITACorp will review and evaluate all LOIs to determine the appropriate level of technical assistance. Each LOI is evaluated based on a scoring criteria that assesses economic distress, rurality, fiscal health, and capacity.

Although ​it is LITACorp's intention to serve every community that submits an LOI, the completion and submission of an LOI does not guarantee ​your community will receive services through TAP.

Have questions about LITACorp's Letter of Interest or need help completing it? LITACorp's hotline is now available Monday-Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm CT. Call (225) 230-2229 or email LOI@LITACorp.org for assistance!

Matching Funds Grant Program

The Matching Funds Grant Program (MFGP) assists Louisiana local governments with meeting local
cost share requirements established by grant programs funded through the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act (IIJA).

LITACorp is making available $20 million to assist Louisiana communities with meeting the local cost
share requirements established by most, if not all, federal grant programs through the IIJA. In general, grant awards will range from $50,000 to $1 million, depending on the project scope and regional impact.

Entities eligible to apply for a grant through the MFGP is limited to political subdivisions, including:

  • Villages

  • Towns

  • Municipalities

  • Parishes (i.e., police jury)

Nonprofit organizations and small businesses are not eligible to apply for assistance.

Eligible applicants can visit LITACorp’s grant portal to apply for MFGP funds: https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon.

MFGP applications must be submitted electronically through LITACorp’s Grant Portal. Hard copy applications
will not be accepted.

All applicants will be prompted to create an account in LITACorp’s grant portal before applying.
Note: for local governments that submitted a Letter of Interest under LITACorp’s Technical Assistance
Program (TAP), their accounts are already in the LITACorp grant portal so they will be able to sign in
and apply immediately for MFGP.

The MFGP application will be available on September 6, 2023, and will accept applications on a
rolling basis.

All questions about the MFGP should be directed to grants@LITACorp.com. LITACorp will respond to all emails within 48 hours Monday through Friday.
