Grow Review Process (expect a decision within 3 months of submitting application):
- You will receive a confirmation email that you have successfully submitted your Grow application;
- Grassroots Fund staff will reach out to your group's contact person to schedule a phone interview no later than 6 weeks after the deadline;
- The Grantmaking Committee meets no later than 10 weeks after the deadline and collectively makes funding decisions;
- The Board reviews and ultimately approves the final recommendations of the Committee within 2 weeks of the meeting;
- Upon Board approval, Grassroots Fund staff emails the group's contact person notifying them of the decision;
Approved applicants are emailed a Grant Agreement Letter which needs to be signed and sent back to the NEGEF office;
- Checks are cut and mailed to the groups upon receipt of the signed Grant Agreement Letter.
Reporting requirement: Final Reports are due after funds are expended or 1 year after the grant agreement letter is received.
