Municipal Grant Application Form Updated
The Municipal Grant Application Form now asks for new organization and funding questions, requires a Financial Analysis Form for both monetary and in-kind requests, and removes the separate in-kind support document.
The Municipal Grant Application Form now includes revised organization-status and sector options, plus separate questions for monetary funding and in-kind donation requests. It also removes the standalone in-kind support document and requires the Financial Analysis Form to be completed and uploaded for both monetary and in-kind requests.
