Staff Assistance for the Annual Grant Process: Our Staff is here to help all applicants. With that said, there are limits to the amount of help that they are allowed to provide. They will only review or respond to five (5) inquiries or drafts per applicant and only the questions you have asked. Staff can review draft applications between December 1 and February 1. From February 1 until February 21, staff will only review budgets to ensure items are complete and within criteria.
