**What Do I Need for the Application?**

Read the Federal Register notice for details on what is needed for an application. Make sure you start putting together the required information at least a month before the application deadline, because you may need to provide letters of commitment or support from other organizations, a work plan and budget, and other information that might take you some time to assemble.

**Will I Need to Send Any Reports if I Receive a Grant?**

If you receive a grant, you will need to send regular financial and performance reports.  Your grant agreement will tell you how often you need to send the reports, what forms you need to use, and what information you need to put in the reports.

**Where Can I Get More Information about the Program?**

Program details are published in a Federal Register notice each year.  If the notice has not been published yet for this year, you can contact your nearest Rural Development office to get a copy of last year’s notice to get an idea of how the application process works.  However, there may be changes to the application process each year, so make sure you read the most current notice before you apply.
