| FUNDING GUIDELINES & DEADLINES |
Pre-proposals are the required first step in requesting funds.
- Start by reviewing the appropriate Forms & Instructions below -- for housing, historic resources, & other projects.
- All online forms are read-only! Contact staff for fillable versions. Then use the appropriate form to submit a pre-proposal for discussion at any regular CPC meeting.
- If your project is strongly time-sensitive, your pre-proposal should explain why & ask if the CPC
will consider your full proposal "off-cycle," before or after the next regular funding round.
- If you are requesting additional funds for a previously funded project, your pre-proposal should ask if
the CPC will consider your full proposal through its shorter, "supplemental" process.
- Click
on Calendar for rolling submission deadlines. 3
July 2012 is the last day to submit a
pre-proposal
for the next regular funding
round, but the earlier you submit your
pre-proposal, the better. Early pre-proposals
help
the CPC reserve funds for worthwhile future projects.
- Based
on your pre-proposal, the CPC will either discourage, encourage, or set
certain conditions for submission of a full proposal. You should work
closely with staff to prepare and submit a full proposal.
|
| Full proposals must cite the goals the project will
meet from existing city-wide plans, starting with the two-part Newton
Community Preservation Plan:

and from other relevant City plans:
