Montana Society Memorandum To: Historic Preservation Officers From: Kate Hampton, CLG Coordinator Craig Mrock, Grants Contracts Coordinator Date: January 8, 2019 Re: CLG Grant Application for 2019-2020 For this grant cycle, we will continue the semi-annual and final reporting/reimbursement cycle to help reduce some of the reporting requirements and to provide a better system for summarizing CLG activities for the National Park Service. Please note the corresponding schedule below. Note: Quarterly requests for reimbursement, not to exceed half of the total grant, can continue to be submitted, as long there is sufficient cash and in-kind match for the amount requested (40%of the total federal share). Please remember to provide sufficient documentation to determine the allowability of the charges reimbursed, including pay stubs, invoices, donated services forms with original signatures, and other supporting documents. Requests to reimburse the full amount of funding can be submitted with the six-month progress report, as long as sufficient activity, cash, and in-kind match has been documented. 2018-2019 Schedule—Dates to Remember January 8, 2019 Announcement of Funds February 20, 2019 CLG Grant Applications Due to SHPO Upon Receipt SHPO Mails CLG Agreements for Signatures March 22, 2019 Both Signed Agreements to SHPO April 1, 2019 12-Month Funding Cycle Begins September 30, 2019 Mid-Point of Funding Cycle October 31, 2019 Six-Month Progress Report& Request for Reimbursement due March 31, 2020 Funding Cycle Ends April 30, 2020 Final Progress Report and Request for Reimbursement due Grant for 2019-2020: As of this writing, the US Congress has not appropriated this federal fiscal year's budget.

Each year,we are required by the National Park Service to pass-through at least 10%of our annual funding to CLGs.This coming year, we anticipate allocating$81,781.00 to the CLGs. Investment in the CLG program is not only a wise use of our funds but crucial to preservation efforts in our state, and we will continue to look for opportunities to increase CLG funding. We stress public outreach in the CLG program. Please continue your outreach programs and develop new ones to involve all ages in your community. Consider hosting a community roundtable to announce progress, events, and awards for your local historical and cultural groups, local government officials, and the public.
