What they will fund?

- There is a preference for two quotes, where practical.
Funding Priorities
- Higher priority for funding
- Applicants who have secured or are actively seeking additional funding sources as part of their overall project plan.
- Low priority for funding
- Application requests exceeding $100,000 will be considered as a lower priority for funding when the grant round is oversubscribed (total requested amount exceeding the annual budget amount).
