Medford Opens Application Process For CPA Funding

MEDFORD, MA — Medford is now accepting Community Preservation Act applications for the 2020 funding cycle. Applicants seeking funding for open space and recreation, historical preservation or affordable housing projects can find instructions and forms at www.PreserveMedford.org.

Eligibility Determination Forms are due on August 27, 2020.

Off-Cycle Applications

Under extraordinary circumstances, the CPC may vote to accept applications that require consideration outside the normal funding cycle. To be considered as an off-cycle application, projects must be considered "high-priority" and must be driven by an external deadline such as real estate transaction or matching grant opportunity. Applicants who believe their circumstances call for such unusual action may contact the Community Preservation Coordinator to discuss the possible submission of an off-cycle application.

Small Grants Applications

Applicants seeking grants of up to $5,000 for projects with a total cost of up to $10,000 should use the Small Grants Combined Eligibility and Application form. A total of $25,000 will be made available for small grants. Applications for small grants are accepted on a rolling basis.

The Community Preservation Committee is hosting a Pre-Application Workshop on Thursday, July 9, at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. Prospective applicants are encouraged to attend this meeting with questions and ideas and are also invited to attend any monthly CPC meeting.
