The Community Partnership Program may limit the number of grants made to an organization in a single cycle or cumulatively. In addition, the Steering Committee may prioritize applications that propose a unique or innovative project, thereby reserving the right to deny the funding of proposals that duplicate or are similar in scope to other previously funded and/or proposed CPP projects.
