The MDAG is a reimbursement grant: Any approved expenditures must be made within the contract period. Subrecipients must incur an allowable expense, make payment, and seek reimbursement within 90 days of the completion of the scope of work. Reimbursement requests beyond 90 days will not be reimbursed unless granted an extension by a SEMA Authorized Representative. Extension requests must be submitted in a Subaward Adjustment to the SEMA Grant Specialist 15 days prior to the deadline.
Cost Share and Match: 50%/50% (State and Local) – 50% State cost share of up to $200,000.00. Only hard match will be accepted for this grant program.
