To be considered a CBO you must meet the requirements in Section III.A of the NOFO. The NOFO states in pertinent part in Section III A.1 that:

“For purposes of this NOFO, the CBO must have a geographic presence or connection in, or relationship with, the specified community that the projects are intended to benefit. For example, national or statewide CBOs must demonstrate the CBO’s connection to the community that will benefit from the grants.”
