Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should I apply for funding?
Applications for funding are reviewed by local Advisory Boards in the months of January, March, June and September, with some Advisory Boards meeting more frequently.
It is strongly recommended to submit your application by the 15th of the following months to ensure that your application is received in time for the next scheduled meeting: December, February, May or August.
Please ensure that your application is submitted at least 3 months in advance of your project start date as boards cannot provide funding for projects that have already been completed.
