General Questions
As a Community Impact Project (CIP), will indirect costs still be covered by the grant?
An organization funded as a CIP can include indirect costs in the program budget as long as the appropriate documentation (e.g., approved indirect cost rate agreement, de minimis certification, etc.) is provided.
Is the Attestation Letter the only document we need to submit?
The Attestation Letter is the only document you need to submit for returning organizations. That is due May 14, 2025 by 4:30 p.m.
When will we be notified if our organization is being awarded?
Your organization will receive notification, typically in mid-June, of whether it has been selected to move to program design phase. CIPs will move through the program design process before building out a budget and then a services agreement will be put into place.
NOTE: funding through the RFA process to be a Community Impact Project is not a federal award. Organizations selected to be a CIP in FY26 are contracted service providers that deliver programming designed and overseen by MFF.
