We encourage the grant applicant to be present at all readings of the grant application. It is not required by the Board to have you there to process the application. Should you choose to let your Sponsoring Director represent you at the reading, you should be advised of the following: that the processing of the application could be held up from seven to 30 days. This would be due to questions and clarifications on the application that your Sponsoring Director could not address. An explanation as to why the applicant chooses not to attend will be supplied by the Sponsoring Director. Any application presented to the Board for review that is not complete and cannot be completed and clarified at the time of review will not be voted on by the Board.
Payments will be made directly to creditors whenever possible.
This application as well as the reviewing process are confidential; creditors are requested to maintain such confidentiality.
This application must be reviewed by a sponsoring Alliance Director and two other Directors: a second reviewing Director and the Treasurer before presentation to the Board of Directors for approval. email to grants@sfbayarealeatheralliance.org
Seven days are required for review prior to consideration at a Board meeting.
