The CPA funding process
CPA funds will be awarded through a grant application process. The Community Preservation Committee has developed an application packet, which includes:
An explanation of the application and review process
- The FY18 Project Eligibility Determination Form, which must be submitted to and reviewed by the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) before an applicant can submit a full application
- Instructions for submitting a full application for FY18 funding
- Application Cover Sheet
- Scoring criteria
Year Timeline
In FY2018, the Community Preservation Committee will make two rounds of funding recommendations to the City Council. The first round will occur in May 2018, followed by a second round in October 2018. All applicants who will seek funding in FY2018 are encouraged to submit a project eligibility determination in January 2018, even if they will wait until the second round to complete their full application. Applicants may also submit a revised application for the second round if they do not receive funding the first round.
