Public Access

Grant Process and Application

Grant funding applications for public access are accepted on a year-round basis. The WCB meets four times each year, normally in February, May, August, and November to consider approval of funding for projects.

While applications may be submitted throughout the year, WCB may need up to six months to review, prepare, and present proposals to the Board for funding consideration. Upon receipt of a project application, WCB staff will review the application for completeness and qualifications based on program criteria. The WCB will also assess the project in terms of funding sources, to determine if there are sufficient and appropriate fund available for the project. The WCB will communicate its determination back to the contact listed on the application, as to, if and when the project will be scheduled for Board consideration.
