Yes. As described in Section III.A of the NFO, a CBO must demonstrate that it is “a public or private nonprofit organization that supports and/or represents a community and/or certain populations within a community through engagement, education, and other related services provided to individual community residents and community stakeholders.” Institutions of Higher Education do not have to meet the same requirements. However, as noted throughout the NOFO, all applications must benefit disadvantaged communities as defined in Appendix A of the NOFO.
