Planning grants will reimburse grantees and participating stakeholders for all direct costs, including staff costs incurred during the grant performance period and related to the project. The grant request can be up to $250,000. The application must include a minimum ten percent (10%) match funding with at least five percent (5%) of the requested grant amount a cash match and the balance may be in-kind.
 

CLBL is able to cover the 5% cash match (up to $12,500) and the remaining 5% (up to $12,500) will come from in-kind services, including staff time from LAFCo and/or stakeholders. LAFCo can also request administrative/staff funding through this grant to cover time spent implementing the goals and administration of the planning grant.
