YJOC grant round draws 46 applications requesting roughly $12.6 million
Summary
The committee reported 46 grant applications totaling about $12.6 million; applications are under independent review, and members discussed award timing, stability for early grantees and potential technical-assistance supports.
Doug, presenting the grants update, said the most recent round produced 46 applications requesting about $12.6 million. He said the requests are somewhat under earlier expectations and that the applications are now in review by an independent recommendation group.
"We received 46 applications at our last round; that totals about $12.6 million in ask," Doug said. He noted the awards process is ongoing and that discussions about the next round are pending. Committee members discussed whether technical-assistance resources should be offered to applicants not awarded funds but with viable plans.
Doug also raised the issue of funding stability for earlier grantees: the committee will need to address sustainability and future funding conversations for the first round of grantees whose funded periods are nearing expiration. Some current awards are on no-cost extensions; the committee flagged the need to discuss a funding formula and long-term funding supports within the next nine months.
No awards were announced at the meeting; Doug said the independent review group would deliberate next week and return recommendations.
