<br /> PART I, Page | 16 <br />Recognizing that different sized jurisdictions have different capacities, resources, and <br />needs, and in an effort to distribute funding equitably across the state, these categories <br />were established by the original Prop. 64 Executive Steering Committee. Appl icants will <br />initially compete in either Category 1, 2, or 3, and will compete only against other <br />applicants within their category. <br /> <br />Funds allocated to Categories 1-3 will be awarded first. Once the funding assigned to a <br />category is exhausted, any remaining proposals in that category will compete together in <br />Category 4, regardless of county size. <br /> <br />If a proposal is only partially fundable within Category 1, 2, and/or 3 due to insufficient <br />funds remaining, that proposal will receive full funding using funds from Category 4. If any <br />of the three (3) categories do not have a sufficient number of qualified applicants to fully <br />expend its allocation, the remaining funds will be added to Category 4. <br /> <br />If an applicant or grantee relinquishes an award, the BSCC may offer that award to the <br />next qualifying applicant(s) on the ranked list. <br /> <br />Building the Project Budget <br />Applicants are strongly encouraged to request only the amount of funds needed to <br />support their proposal and an amount that can be justified with supporting documentation. <br />All applicants must build their proposal, objectives, activities, timelines, and budg et <br />information for all five (5) years of the grant cycle (which includes the 6 -month period for <br />the completion and submission of the evaluation and audit requirements). For example, <br />if an applicant is requesting $3,000,000, the budget detail must clearly illustrate how that <br />$3,000,000 will be allocated across the entire five (5) years (see Budget Section for <br />instructions). <br /> <br />No Match Requirement <br />There is no match requirement for the Prop 64 Grant Program. <br /> <br />Data Collection, Reporting and Evaluation Requirements <br />Projects selected for funding will be required to submit Quarterly Progress Reports <br />(QPRs) to the BSCC and complete an evaluation of their grant-funded project that <br />focuses on the achievement of the project’s goals and objectives. Completion of the <br />evaluation requires the submission of a Local Evaluation Plan (LEP) and Local Evaluation <br />Report (LER). A summary of the QPRs, LEP, and LER follows. More detailed information <br />and evaluation-related resources will be made available to grantees. <br /> <br />The BSCC will also be conducting a statewide evaluation of the impact of projects funded <br />by the Proposition 64 grant program. The focus of the statewide evaluation is to report on <br />the impact of the grant funds across all, and subgroups, of the grant -funded projects. This <br />7.C. - Page 24 of 101 <br />83
