Let's get started on the grant proposal
The Flex-E-Grant (FEG) program, designed by ARC, provides small investment in short-term projects that build community capacity to mobilize local resources, gain leadership experience, and strengthen community institutions and networks.
Click hereto access the Flex-E-Grant proposal form and download a copy of the grant guidelines and eligibility requirements.
Grants are subject to approval for up to $10,000, require a 20 percent match of total project costs, and are to be completed within a six-month timeframe. Flex-E-Grant funds are made available on a reimbursement basis only.
Although the primary intent of the program is to support efforts that help develop local capacity, eligible activities may also include collaboration among communities in support of existing and emerging regional development efforts.
