Funding
We will determine if funding will be disbursed as a grant or as a contribution.
A grant is a payment issued to a recipient for an event. The conditions you agree to at the time of application will apply. At the end of your event, you may be required to submit a report and/or participate in the evaluation of results.
A contribution is a conditional payment issued for a specific purpose, as outlined in a funding agreement. The agreement is signed by your organization and by us and specifies the terms and conditions to receive payment. At the end of your event, you must submit a final report.
