Funds are distributed in five payments over the course of five fiscal years.
Payments are in 20% increments of the total grant amount and made in consecutive fiscal years after certain milestones are reached.
The hiring process for owner's project manager (OPM) and architectural design services must be done according to M.G.L. 7C, sections 44-47 (Public Building Projects Design Services).
See the Designer Selection tab for more detail.
After all the paperwork, we still don't send you the money unless you ask for it. There is yet another form to fill out to get each of your five payments.
In order to receive a grant payment, you must fulfill certain milestones and submit a payment request via the Amplifund grant management system. If you have any questions about Amplifund, please contact your library building specialist:
