14. To help us manage funding, what is your best ESTIMATE of how much you will request from the King County CARES Act funding? Please list estimates for each of of your farmers market locations that are open in 2020.

The current maximum reimbursement is $10,000. Eligible expenses include increased personnel and operating costs due to COVID19, lost market days and vendor revenue, and SNAP Market Match (not covered by DOH or other sources). A complete description of all eligible expenses will be included in your funding contract. We will have a webinar to answer reimbursement questions. For now, estimates will work.

14a Total estimate for Farmers Market 1

14b Total estimate for Farmers Market 2

14c Total estimate for Farmers Market 3

14d Total estimate for Farmers Market 4

15. If any of the estimates in Q14a to Q14d include SNAP Market Match, please list the estimated SNAP Market Match amount by Farmers Market location below. Your estimates are simply needed to help the Dept of Health manage the SNAP Market Match program and do not change your current allocation. If SNAP Market Match is not included in your estimate, please leave blank or write "none."

16. Although funds are currently limited to $10,000 per market location, additional funds may become available. How much ADDITIONAL funding (>$10,000) could you request for eligible expenses from the King County CARES Act funding if there were no limit? Please list the ADDITIONAL amount by Farmers Market location.
