We are in the middle of designing a survey to send out to gather some information on them and their e-commerce and digital “footprint”. We hope to publish more details in this section on Friday, May 28. (Update 5/28 – see the first question on the list to get an overview of the types of companies you would be working with.)
Eligible costs are described in the RFP, including the match requirement.

It’s pretty simple really. Whomever applies for this money needs to cover 25% of the cost, and you can only request up to $70,000. So, if you request $70,000 in grant money, you need to contribute $17,500. That $17,500 can be in almost any form, including your time (in-kind).
We’re really looking for some help and creativity from applicants, a partner or two, to stretch this money as far as possible. You are welcome to request a smaller amount to work with only a few clients if you just want to test the waters, so to speak. No way to know how the grant reviewers would view that approach, but it seems valid to us.

We are hoping to make our funding announcement on June 15. We will also need to quickly contract with selected trainers immediately thereafter. The actual grant period can stretch through the end of the calendar year 12/31/21, with extensions possible with cause and permission.
