All applicants must be capable of providing support throughout the State of Mississippi. Proposals are requested from city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education) private institutions of higher education, public and State‐controlled institutions of higher education, special district governments, or State governments.
