1. How will I know the status of my application once I have submitted it?

Once the Office of Management and Budget receives your application and required supporting documentation, an eligibility verification review is completed. There are two statuses: complete or incomplete. Only “complete” proposals will be forwarded to the Executive Review Panel for review and funding consideration. The Office of Management and Budget will send notification via email to all applications that are deemed incomplete.

2. I received a letter indicating my application was “complete.” Does that mean my proposal is being reviewed?

Yes. Only organizations determined to have provided appropriate and accurate proof of eligibility documentation receive this notification. Your proposal will be forwarded to the Office of the County Executive and the members of the Executive Review Panel for full consideration.

The Executive Review Panel will convene to review and evaluate proposal submissions. Consideration for award recommendations and final decisions may include, but are not limited to, support of underserved populations, geographic diversity, the Administration’s strategic priorities and past performance. Awards are subject to funding availability.

3. If my request for funding is denied, is there an appeal process?

Due to the large volume of requests we receive and limited financial resources, we do not offer an appeal process. We encourage all applicants to thoroughly review our application, eligibility guidelines and related funding priorities.

4. I received notification that my proposal was not funded. How can I obtain feedback on my overall proposal submission?

Organizations that wish to receive feedback on their proposal may email the Grants Manager at PGNonprofits@co.pg.md.us

NOTE: We are committed to maintaining the integrity of a fair, open and transparent process. Please do not contact any county employee to discuss (or influence) your application. All questions must be sent in writing to PGNonprofits@co.pg.md.usand we will respond in writing as well as post the responses to our website.
