Thank you to every organization who applied!

Now that the Reimagine and Revitalize (R2) grant application period has closed, you might be wondering what’s next.

As part of the process, grant managers (of all regions) will review applications to check eligibility and ensure all submission requirements are met.

Next, R2 grant managers will score the applications and submit the top-scoring ones to the Council. After our review, the Council will need to vote and approve applications for all regions.

We expect this vote to happen in September. Stay tuned!
