TAB 0: Landing Page/Program Information

Welcome to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) submission portal for the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CPF) Grant Plan. This portal is for use only by Recipients that are States, territories, and freely associated states. Recipients must submit Grant Plans by September 24, 2022, providing information on the Recipient’s intended uses of CPF funds. Treasury may publicly share information contained in the Grant Plan.


Recipients should refer to the “Guidance for the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund for States, Territories and Freely Associated States” (Guidance) when completing a Grant Plan. Defined terms used in this portal that are not defined in it shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Guidance.


The Grant Plan is organized in the following categories:


  • Executive Summary

  • Allocation Table

  • Program Plan(s)

    • Program Questionnaire

    • Program Summary

    • Program Budget

    • Pre-Award Cost Annex (As Applicable)


Each Program Plan is intended to provide more detailed information on a particular type of Capital Project(s) the Recipient intends to undertake and constitutes an Eligible Applicant’s request for funding for those types of Capital Projects. For example, a State might file a Grant Plan that indicates that it intends to spend funding on broadband deployment throughout the State, and a Program Plan that provides detailed information on its deployment plan for only some of the counties in the State. Later, it could file another Program Plan detailing its deployment plans for other counties in the State.


After submitting a Grant Plan, which must include at least one Program Plan, Recipients may submit additional Program Plans on a rolling basis so that Recipients can seek funding for a particular type of Capital Project (or Projects) when the Recipient is ready. All Program Plans must be submitted by September 24, 2022. Treasury will assess and approve each Program Plan separately and will separately provide access to funds for each Program Plan when approved. For example, a Recipient with two Program Plans may submit, receive Treasury approval, and have access to funds for one Program Plan in December 2021, and then submit, receive Treasury approval, and have access to funds for the second Program Plan in March 2022.


TAB 1: User Instructions

After completing this form, please click on the DocuSign button to sign and submit the Grant Plan.


Recipients will have an opportunity to revise and resubmit portions of their Program Plans that Treasury determines do not meet the criteria set out in guidance or requires additional information to make a determination. Treasury staff will reach out to your designated point of contact with any questions or clarifications as they review the submitted plans.


For further clarification and examples for questions asked below, please review the FAQ document on the Capital Projects Fund website. Terms carry the meaning defined in the CPF guidance.

TAB 2: Executive Summary


Provide an Executive Summary not to exceed two pages. At a minimum, the Executive Summary should include a paragraph for each of the following:

  • A brief description of the objectives(s) intended to be achieved with the CPF grant funds, and the Programs expected to be funded. This may be used by Treasury to publicly describe the grant.

  • A narrative explaining the Recipient’s rationale for allocating funds as proposed with its Allocation Table, and how the specific Programs were identified in pursuit of the stated objectives.

  • A description of the Recipient’s approach for identifying critical needs and the communities to be served by the capital assets, addressing the following questions:

    • What processes did you undertake and factors did you consider in identifying critical needs?

    • How has community engagement and public participation informed the Recipient’s approach for spending CPF grant funds and planning for implementation and operation of capital assets?

    • How was equity considered in the selection of programs and the distribution of funds?


Treasury will consider any additional relevant information that the Recipient wishes to submit.

Each Program must align with not more than one of the following eligible use types, though a Recipient may submit more than one Program per eligible use.
