Section 210. Small projects grants

20 AAC 40.210. Small projects grants

(a) Subject to the provisions of this section and 20 AAC 40.215, the authority will make one-time small projects grants of up to $10,000 for beneficiary-related purposes.

(b) The purpose of small projects grants is to provide for innovation or for enhancements in an existing activity or project, but not to maintain or create an ongoing program with trust money.

(c) An application for a small projects grant must be submitted on a form provided by the authority. The authority will consider applications for small projects grants three times a year. The deadlines for the authority to receive grant applications are February 1, June 1, and October 1 of each year.

(d) The authority will return an application that requests a grant in excess of $10,000, that does not state the amount requested, or that does not state how a requested amount will be spent. The authority will provide a written explanation of the reason the application is being returned.

(e) Within five working days after an application deadline established in (c) of this section, the authority will provide copies of properly completed and timely applications to each interested planning board or other beneficiary-related agency, as appropriate, for comment and for a recommendation whether to approve the application. Any comment or recommendation by an interested planning board or other beneficiary-related agency must be in writing and must be submitted to the authority within 10 working days after receipt of a copy of the application from the authority.

(f) Within one month after the application deadline, the authority will evaluate the applications and any comments and recommendations received from interested planning boards and other beneficiary-related agencies and either approve or deny each application. In deciding whether to approve an application, the authority will consider

(1) the extent to which the proposed project

(A) is consistent with the authority's guiding principles adopted by reference in 20 AAC 40.040;

(B) provides a direct benefit to one or more beneficiary groups;

(C) is timely and in an area of activity or service that is a priority for the authority;

(D) is consistent with the purposes of the small projects grant program; and

(E) has a budget that is complete, understandable, and appropriate;

(2) the availability of matching money, other contributing partners, and community support for the proposed project;

(3) the amount of money available to make small projects grants; and

(4) the relative merit of the proposed project when compared with all other timely and properly completed applications.

(g) The authority will notify each applicant for a small projects grant in writing of its decision to approve or deny the application as soon as practicable after the decision is made.
