​NOTICE: The Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) has launched a new grants management system to improve grant administration overall. All grants authorized between 2017 and 2024 will be managed in the system. 

All grantee organizations must identify a submitter to manage grants in the grant management system. The submitter must activate the grant in the system to submit grant intake documents and requests.
