Match awards may not exceed $5 million or 25 percent of the federal award amount sought, whichever is less. The cycle is open Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021 at 8 a.m. and closes on Nov. 15, 2021 at 5 p.m. Eligible applicants are: - Units of local government, including but not limited to ports and public utility districts;
- Federally recognized Tribes;
- Nonprofit organizations;
- Nonprofit cooperative organizations; and
- Public-private partnerships.
Key Dates: - The cycle is open Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 8 a.m. and closes on November 15, 2021 at 5 p.m.
- Contingent awards are expected to be announced by December 1, 2021.
