Assembling the Application

          You must submit an original and five copies of the complete application. Please assemble each copy according to the instructions that follow. Doing so greatly assists the reviewers who evaluate your application.

____   Put the original and four copies in separate manila file folders labeled with your organization's name and secured with binder clips. Put the remaining copy in the folder provided by PTFP; please do NOT put the original in this folder!

____   The manila folder with the original copy should be labeled "ORIGINAL" on the outside. This copy must have original signatures on the Application Form, the Assurances (SF-424B), and the CD-511 certification of lobbying activity. Also Form LLL, if appropriate.)

____   Major sections of each copy of the application should be separated by divider sheets with labeled index tabs that protrude from the edge of the sheet. (Please use labels that won't fall out!) The outline below marks each labeled index tab with an asterisk (*) and lists the material you should place behind that divider.

          The folders provided by PTFP have six panels, and each panel has a metal clip at the top. Please arrange the Application Form and other materials on the panels as follows:

Panel 1    If required, place in the PTFP-provided folder only one complete set of original CD-346 forms (“Applicant for Funding Assistance”). No other CD-346 copies should be submitted.
