CBLO DOE Grant Applications

Please note the changes in eligible funding levels. According to the chart, all literacy programs can apply for a DOE grant. However, this process is extremely competitive, and unless you can guarantee that your program will adhere to strict grant requirements and can demonstrate that it can realistically attain National Reporting System goals, I would suggest thinking carefully about applying.

Click here to find the CBLO grant application.

Grant application deadline is June 22, 2007.

NOTE ON Page 10: Programs that use the VLF database will be able to continue exporting information into the DOE web based system for one year. Next year, 2008-2009, this practice will not be allowed.

Second change: Be extremely careful in allocating funds for your budget. This year, every change in your budget will need to be approved first. The turn around time takes two weeks, and you are not guaranteed an approval. Programs purchasing equipment that is not specified in their grant, and for which they did not receive budget change approval, will not be reimbursed for this purchase.

I will post more about the RFP next week.
