Who can apply for OTS grants?
Political subdivisions of the state are eligible to apply for and receive OTS grant funding. In addition to state governmental agencies, state colleges, and state universities, subdivisions of the state include local city and county government agencies, school districts, fire departments, and public emergency services providers. Non-profit, community-based organizations (CBOs) are eligible to apply for funding through a political subdivision of the state. For example, a city department may submit a proposal that includes funding for CBO participation. The CBO funding would be included under contractual services in the proposal budget. If you have a question as to whether or not you are eligible to apply, contact your OTS Coordinator.
