Question Instructions <br />Applicant Information (page 1 of the application): Please fill in all areas completely. The applicant is the <br />agency requesting funding. The contact name will be considered the leader of the project for the applicant <br />agency. The contact should also be the individual who will present the project and will be available for <br />questions from the COG. <br />Applicant Thresholds (page 1 of the application): Your project must meet each of these requirements to <br />be considered. Please check each box and include the necessary documentation with your application. If <br />your project does not meet all of the listed requirements and/or your application does not include the <br />necessary documentation to support your claims, it will not be considered for funding. <br />Project Budget (page 2 of the application): The top line (Distressed County Funds Requested) is to list <br />how much funding you are asking the COG to consider awarding your project. The columns to the right then <br />ask you to include the specific breakdown as to how and in what phase or phases (if a construction project) <br />the money will be utilized. Please be as accurate as possible. <br />The following lines and columns are for other funding sources you have secured or for which you have <br />applied. Again, please be as accurate as possible and fill in the final column for each signifying the status of <br />the funding source (whether or not the funding has been secured). <br />The "Project Total" line is for the total cost of the project the application represents. The sum of all the <br />funding sources lines should accurately add to the figure listed here. Additionally, please also accurately <br />include the breakdown for phases listed to the right, again making sure the sums of the previous columns are <br />equal to the amount placed on each line. <br />Distressed Countv Fund Matching Ratio (page 2 of the application): This line is to show what <br />percentage of the total project budget the applicant is providing in local funding. For instance, if the total <br />project budget is $100,000 and the application is for $50,000 with combined other funding sources of <br />another $50,000 and the local funding source component is $20.000, the Ratio would be 20%. <br />A simple equation to answer this question from the Project Budget is <br />(Local Government + Other (if a local funding source)) / Project Total = <br />Distressed County Fund Matching Ratio (converted to a percentage) <br />Project Narrative (starts on page 3 of the application): Please answer each question and sub -question <br />completely. Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding.
