This research examines the effects of intergovernmental fiscal cooperation on federal grant programs. Specifically, it looks at how the likelihood of applying for federal grant programs can be affected by intergovernmental fiscal cooperation with other cities. The findings show that using the level of professionalism in municipal governments as a proxy variable for measuring the existence of interactions between localities is statistically significant to explain municipal governments’likelihood of applying for the Small Cities Community Development Block Grant(Small Cities CDBG) in Florida. On the other hand, the municipal governments are negatively associated with governments’ behaviors of applying for the federal grant. The findings also illustrate the effects of income and fiscal stress on the governments’ activities for spending and obtaining resources. For instance, city governments where professionalism is evident and there are higher median incomes, governments are less likely to apply for federal grants, indicating that they are somewhat insulated from fiscal stress. In contrast, city governments under fiscal pressure have fewer options to secure enough resources, so that they are more likely to apply for federal grants.
