Eligibility Criteria
GO Fund grants may be awarded to state, local, regional, or tribal government entities, educational institutions, or non-profit organizations registered as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Service cod. Federal governmental entities, for-profit entities, and individuals are not eligible at this time.
