4. Is there a limit to the amount of money that we can apply for?

There is no limit to the amount of funding that you may request. However, the availability of funds will depend on the amount of gaming machine income generated in the area of the Organisation applying for funding, whether the Request is in line with What We Fund, as well as the number of Requests received from the same area in that month.

 

5. May we apply for something that we have already paid for?

You are welcome to re-apply if your application was declined, as long it was not declined due to not meeting our funding criteria. You will need to submit a new Request when re-applying.

Provided that the requirements in 4. above are met, Organisations will receive a response by the last day of each month (excluding July, when there is usually no meeting due to our June financial year end).

Yes, provided that a separate Request is completed for each application.

11. Do you fund salaries?

Yes, generally funding is limited to three months at a time.

 

12. Do we need to submit receipts for money spent in relation to our Grant?

You must supply confirmation that you have spent the money for only those items / services that were funded. Please note that your Request may be automatically declined if your Organisation has outstanding Accountability Reports due.
