The funds, $352,000 for the upcoming biennium, are open to non-profit community based collaborative organizations with advisory boards that include personnel from relevant agencies.
Those receiving grant money must have the financial capability to pay project costs up-front and request reimbursement for grant funds. Proposals are due by July 1st with winners being announced July and August.
