Notes from KCCVS
New applicants (other than Education Award Only Programs) are not eligible for Fixed-Amount Grants. Applicants must have at least one operational grant year completed before being eligible to apply.
Current formula programs may submit a competitive application without losing their formula status for continued funding (based on performance, recruitment and retention).
Some highlights from this year’s NOFO:
- The living allowance for full-time members is $12,100;
- The Educational Award for a full-time member serving 1,700 hours is $5,550;
- The cost per member for reimbursable programs is $13,300.
- The cost per member for fixed amount grants is $13,000 and limited to full-time members.
Please disregard the due date on the Application Instructions -- that is the date KCCVS must submit.
