Implementation

(1) Annual Grant Program. The Board will fund grants under 503 CMR 3.00 in a separate grant program each year, subject to legislative appropriation. For each annual grant program, the Board will establish a deadline for grant application receipt; applications failing to meet this deadline will be considered in the next annual grant program. Except as otherwise provided in 503 CMR 3.06(1), applications must be received within 12 months of completion of the work for which a grant is being sought. Applications for work completed more than 12 months prior to application receipt will not be accepted. (2) Availability of Funds. In accordance with M.G.L. c. 21J, § 4(c) and subject to legislative appropriation, the Board shall not approve more than $2,000,000 per year in total grants.
