Frequently Asked Questions
Grants Signals in Illinois
What upcoming grants projects are there in Illinois?

Which Illinois agencies are discussing grants projects?

What is a pre-RFP signal?
A pre-RFP signal is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on signals gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
How do SLED and B2G vendors use grants signals in Illinois?
Vendors selling grants to state, local, and education (SLED) buyers use these pre-RFP signals to find Illinois agencies with budgeted, in-progress demand — then reach decision-makers before the RFP drops, while requirements are still being shaped.
How does Civic IQ find grants signals in Illinois?
Civic IQ monitors board meeting minutes, agendas, budgets, and strategic plans from local government agencies across Illinois, and uses AI to surface grants purchase intent. New signals appear here as agencies publish new meeting records.
