We are pleased to inform you that the grant application is now available online. Over the last few days, emails were sent to your CSA contacts informing them of the amount of funding your agency is being awarded. These amounts will need to be referenced in your application. Grants will have a start date of July 1, 2021 so that you may apply grant funds to expenses incurred back to the beginning of the fiscal year.
The name of this grant program is 999 Sustainability Grant. To receive your portion of the $22M allocated to this program, you will need to follow all normal non-competitive grant requirements which include completing and submitting:
