Review Process

Once your electronic grant application is received, the ECF Board will review eligible grant applications, conduct site visits and vote to allocate funds based on proposed use, comparative need, and the overall funds available. An ECF board member will contact eligible agencies for site visits/evaluations following the application due date. As such, a representative from your agency must be available to meet with an ECF representative at your place of business. Grant decisions will be made approximately 45 days later, and agencies will be notified when funding decisions have been made.
