Prior to submitting an ATF Reimbursement Application, interested applicants must first submit an Eligibility Checklist to the OPA to verify that eligibility requirements are met. The OPA is currently accepting Eligibility Checklists for ATF Reimbursement Funding until March 31, 2026. 

The ATF Reimbursement Funding process is as follows:

Step 1: Eligibility Checklists

Prior to submitting a Reimbursement Application, an Applicant Organization must first submit an Eligibility Checklist to the OPA by March 31, 2026.  Within 15 business days, the OPA will either (a) provide the Applicant Organization with an Eligibility Notice verifying that all of the eligibility requirements have been met or (b) a notice that the eligibility requirements have not been met.

Step 2: Information Sessions

The OPA intends to meet with all eligible Applicant Organizations in-person or via conference call. This will provide an opportunity for the OPA to provide more details about the program and answer any questions before the Applicant Organization submits a Reimbursement Application.  

Step 3: Application Submission

Reimbursement Application forms will be made available from the OPA to all Applicant Organizations that meet the eligibility requirements.  Reimbursement Applications must be submitted to the OPA within 60 Business Days of receiving an Eligibility Notice.

Step 4: Review and Approval

The OPA will review each Reimbursement Application for completeness. Applicants will be notified if the Reimbursement Application is complete or whether the OPA requires further information.  If the Reimbursement Application is approved, Applicants will be notified of the approval and next steps for payment.

Step 5: Payment

Once the Reimbursement Application is approved, the Applicant Organization and the OPA will enter into a Funding Agreement. Once it is signed, the Applicant Organization will receive a single payment for the full requested amount.
