Community Development Block Grant Application

Streamline Your CDBG Application Process

Community Development Block Grants provide vital funding for projects that benefit low- and moderate-income communities. Whether you're a nonprofit organization, local government agency, or community development corporation, this Community Development Block Grant Application template helps you compile all required information in one professional, organized submission.

This template is purpose-built for CDBG applications and includes all the critical components HUD and local administrators require: detailed census tract information, low-income beneficiary counts, project budgets, matching funds commitments, and comprehensive project narratives. Rather than juggling multiple documents and spreadsheets, your team can collect everything through a single, branded form that guides applicants through each required section.

Built for Grant Administrators and Community Organizations

Paperform makes it easy to create professional grant applications without coding. Customize this template to match your municipality's specific requirements, add your branding, and embed it directly on your website or share via a custom link. Conditional logic ensures applicants only see questions relevant to their project type, while calculation fields automatically compute matching fund percentages and total project costs.

For grant administrators managing multiple funding rounds, Paperform's submission management tools let you review, compare, and score applications side-by-side. Export responses to Excel or Google Sheets for review committees, or integrate directly with your CRM or project management system to track applications through the review process.

Automate Your Grant Workflow

Once applications are submitted, use Stepper (stepper.io) to build automated workflows that route applications to the right reviewers, send acknowledgment emails, request missing documentation, and notify applicants of status changes. You can even set up multi-stage review processes where different team members score specific sections before final funding decisions are made.

For organizations that need applicants to sign commitment agreements or matching funds pledges, Papersign (papersign.com) lets you convert form submissions into legally binding eSignature documents, creating a seamless flow from application to award without manual paperwork.

With Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and robust security features, you can trust that sensitive financial information and community data are protected throughout the application process. Whether you're administering a single grant program or managing an entire portfolio of community development funding, this template provides the professional foundation you need.
