(b) The purpose of small projects grants is to provide for innovation or for enhancements in an existing activity or project, but not to maintain or create an ongoing program with trust money.
(c) An application for a small projects grant must be submitted on a form provided by the authority. The authority will consider applications for small projects grants three times a year. The deadlines for the authority to receive grant applications are February 1, June 1, and October 1 of each year.

(e) Within five working days after an application deadline established in (c) of this section, the authority will provide copies of properly completed and timely applications to each interested planning board or other beneficiary-related agency, as appropriate, for comment and for a recommendation whether to approve the application. Any comment or recommendation by an interested planning board or other beneficiary-related agency must be in writing and must be submitted to the authority within 10 working days after receipt of a copy of the application from the authority.
(f) Within one month after the application deadline, the authority will evaluate the applications and any comments and recommendations received from interested planning boards and other beneficiary-related agencies and either approve or deny each application.

(A) is consistent with the authority's guiding principles adopted by reference in 20 AAC 40.040;
(B) provides a direct benefit to one or more beneficiary groups;
(C) is timely and in an area of activity or service that is a priority for the authority;
