FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
When will we hear whether or not we received a grant?
The Commission acts on grant awards in May and November. If the Commission recommends that a grant be awarded, you will be notified by the staff within 48 hours (two business days) of the decision. If the Commission does not recommend that a grant be awarded, you will be notified in writing within two weeks of the decision.
I will be applying for a grant during the coming year. Will you send me several examples of funded proposals to give me an idea of what a good proposal looks like?
The Commission staff will be glad to provide you with an example of a successful application to help you develop your own proposal. Due to staffing and budget limitations, however, we cannot provide more than one sample application to any potential applicant. When requesting a sample application, please provide as much information about your project as possible so that we can send a sample which closely fits what you plan to do.
We don't have enough money to pay for half of the cost of our project, as the Commission recommends. How can we increase our cost-sharing contribution?
An applicant's cost-sharing contribution can be made up of a number of items. In addition to the salaries and benefits of current employees who will be working on the project, the time contributed by volunteers can be included in the project budget. Contact the Commission staff for additional assistance with budget questions.
I'm not sure that I have included all of the required forms in my application. How many are there supposed to be?
When submitting your application, be sure to include the following items:
  1. Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424)
  2. Assurances—Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B)
  3. Certification Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; and
  4. Drug-Free Workplace Requirements; Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (submit only if you have engaged in lobbying activities)
  5. Two-page Project Summary
  6. Project Budget
  7. Project Narrative
  8. Appendices
I requested a copy of the Commission's guidelines a few years ago, but I have waited until now to apply. Are these guidelines still usable?
Call the Commission staff to find out. Before preparing an application, always check with us to make sure that you are using the current version of the guidelines. Out-of-date guidelines will not have the most recent information on Commission priorities. In addition, applications submitted on old forms may be judged ineligible.
