The group will announce the grants in March. Payments will be disbursed upon the submission of copies of construction invoices.

• the project address and location;
• an itemized price quote;
• project revenue sources;
• an explanation of the need for the project and whom it will benefit;
• a project timeline; and
• the annual budget for the organization.
