- FOLLOW FORMAT AND INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

- Fill out your application form completely in black or blue ink (if not completing online).
- The application should be neat and easy to read with no typographical errors.
- Do not submit applications in folders or binders or professionally bound.
- Only send the application and required attachments; do not send the guide or information that is included at the beginning of the application packet.
- Be clear and to the point. Remember that review committee members will be reviewing many applications.
- 10% of your total request must include multicultural items or resources.
- Estimates are required for fences, windows, or construction projects/materials. This may be a bid from a contractor, or a materials list from a home improvement store if you will be doing the work yourself.
- Pictures are recommended for unique or expensive items that might be questioned by the reviewers.
- Keep one copy of the completed application form and all required attachments for your records. A copy will NOT be returned to you. You will need to refer back to your application form if you are awarded a grant.
