Abstract: Microdevelopment organizations seeking funding under this program will have to submit applications that include specified information, certifications, and agreements. This information will be used to determine applicant eligibility and to ensure compliance with the regulations and that funds are used for authorized purposes. Applications for continued participation in the program will include primarily any needed updates to the information submitted with the initial application. Once an MDO has been approved for participation in the program, it must submit additional documents, reports, and certifications to the Agency. For MDOs receiving loans, the necessary documents are required around loan closing. For MDOs receiving grant funds, the MDO must submit a financial status report and request for advancement or reimbursement. In addition, all MDOs that are awarded funds under this program must submit quarterly reports to the Agency to provide information on their performance. Some grantees will also be required to submit other reports on occasion in the event of poor performance or other such occurrences that require more than the usual set of reporting information. Lastly, grantees that plan to spend technical assistance grant funds on administrative expenses must submit an annual budget of proposed administrative expenses for Agency approval.
