County Of Marshall, a local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2009 and located in Lacon, Illinois, serves Marshall County and surrounding areas through various administrative and public service functions. As a U.S. local government, the county primarily receives federal grant awards that support community health, transportation, social services, and public safety initiatives. The Clerks Office, through which the county operates, plays a critical role in managing and implementing federal grant programs that address regional needs across Marshall, Putnam, and Stark counties.

The county has received federal grant awards from multiple agencies, including the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, and various Illinois state departments. These grants have supported diverse programs such as an adult drug court treatment program, rural public transportation services, public health emergency preparedness, nutrition assistance, and COVID-19 related vaccination efforts. Sub-grant awards from the Illinois Department of Transportation have funded paratransit vehicle acquisitions and rural transit services, while sub-grants from the Illinois Department of Human Services have supported WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition programs and social service block grants. The county has also received public health grants from the Illinois Department of Public Health to support surveillance, outbreak response, and healthcare system preparedness. A notable recent award is a $900,000 Bureau of Justice Assistance grant to establish an adult drug court serving three counties, demonstrating the county's commitment to addressing regional social service and justice system needs.
