Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector Special Flood Recovery Program
The following information is being provided to your provincial sport organization and can be distributed to your southern Alberta member organizations accordingly.
Special funding is being provided to assist the nonprofit/voluntary sector with flood recovery initiatives. $1 million is available in 2013-14 and $3 million in 2014-15.
The funding will be evenly split between the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) and the Community Initiatives Program (CIP) and will be delivered using existing CIP and CFEP guidelines, application forms and accountability requirements. CIP applications will be accepted for both the Project-Based and the Operating streams.
This special funding is intended to address costs associated with flood impacts not covered by insurance or the Disaster Recovery Program. Costs may be associated with damage to infrastructure, relocation expenses, an increase in operational costs or an increase in demand for programs and services from clientele who experienced significant loss or trauma as a result of the floods.
Eligibility:
This special funding is available to
nonprofit/voluntary sector organizations impacted by the 2013 floods.
Eligibility of organizations will also be determined using existing CFEP and
CIP criteria.
The Special Flood Recovery Program is governed by the terms outlined in the
Community Development Grant Regulation.
Maximum Funding Available
For CFEP and CIP Project-Based applications, the maximum provincial funding per project, including DRP funding, will be 50 per cent of the total project costs. For CIP Operating applications current matching requirements will be used.
Applying for Special Flood Recovery Funding
In completing the application form, applicants
must clearly identify that the funding is being requested through the
Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector Special Flood Recovery Program. This should be
stated in the Project Name section.
Applicants must provide sound indicators that the costs associated with their
project can be attributed to the flood.
Applicants must identify if they are eligible for insurance proceeds or
Disaster Recovery Program proceeds related to the funding they are applying
for, and if so the eligible amount. This information should be included in the Project
Budget section. Insurance proceeds are eligible for matching purposes.
Unlike regular CIP/CFEP guidelines, costs accrued prior to the application date
will be accepted as a project cost.
Applicants are eligible to apply for this special flood recovery funding in
addition to normal CIP and CFEP grant requests.
Application Deadlines
The application deadline for the 2013-14 fiscal
year is February 28, 2014. Applications will be processed on a
first-come first-serve basis. Applications that cannot be funded within the
2013-14 budget will be carried over and considered in fiscal 2014-15.
The regular quarterly application deadlines for CIP and CFEP will be in place
for the 2014-15 fiscal. Applications for flood recovery funding can be
submitted for any of the quarterly deadlines.
