Status of Closed, but not Awarded, Grant Programs |

-
FY23 Nonprofit Technical Assistance and Management Support (NTAMS) Grant Program: Decisions have been made on the FY23 NTAMS grant program and results will be distributed in the next one to two weeks. OGM has been clearing out earlier grant programs and has delayed transmitting results to ensure we have the capacity to execute next steps as soon as the results are announced. Recipients will be given the opportunity to rescope their proposals to fit the actual award timeline with considerable flexibility. Non-recipients will have the opportunity to have a feedback session on their application in October of 2024. For FY25, OGM will be significantly changing the approach for nonprofit support to mitigate the delays and challenges of the FY23 grant program.
-
FY24 Cost Sharing Capital Grants (CSCG): State Matched applications, both Arts and Non-Arts have been reviewed, scored, and results posted. Non-State Matched CSCG are still pending review due to similar problems with the FY24 Community Grants program and a shortage of available reviewers. OGM is working with other County stakeholders to identify and recruit reviewers for the remaining applications for this grant program. For future grant programs in FY25, OGM will be focused on supporting department led grant programs where reviewer delays have not been a problem.
-
FY24 Community Project Fund (CPF) Q3/Q4: Decisions have been made on the FY24 CPF Q3/Q4 grant program and results will be distributed in the next two weeks. OGM has been clearing out earlier grant programs and has delayed transmitting results to ensure we have the capacity to execute next steps as soon as the results are announced. Recipients will be given the opportunity to rescope their proposals to fit the actual award timeline with considerable flexibility. Non-recipients will have the opportunity to have a feedback session on their application in October of 2024. For FY25, OGM will be significantly changing the approach for CPF to mitigate the delays and challenges of the FY24 grant program.
