Grant Opportunities MRPC has a history of securing federal and regional funding (SS4A grant, EDA CARES Act revolving loan fund) and manages financial resources across seven counties. This suggests a strong need for grant writing support, program budgeting, and grant compliance services to optimize future awards and fund administration.

Opioid & Community Safety MRPC has recognized impact initiatives in rural opioid projects and safety-related programs, with prior awards and partnerships (Aliceann Wohlbruck Impact Award, Safe Streets and Roads for All grant). There is potential for expanding program design, data analysis, and cross-agency collaboration services around public health, safety, and crisis response.

Regional Economic Development As a regional planning commission focused on community and economic development, MRPC could benefit from technology and analytics offerings, stakeholder engagement platforms, and project management tools to coordinate multi-county initiatives across government, nonprofits, and healthcare partners.

Digital & Communications MRPC relies on a mix of cloud and web technologies (RackSpace Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Analytics, Translate WordPress). There is room to upsell security enhancements, data analytics, website localization, and digital engagement solutions to improve transparency and outreach.

Growth & Collaboration With 11-50 employees and activity spanning seven counties, MRPC presents a mid-market opportunity for scale-focused services such as ERP/CRM integration, project coordination platforms, and regional dashboards to streamline funding workflows, reporting, and stakeholder communications.
