End Of Questionnaire

Applications are reviewed by volunteers between the 20th and 30th of each month (all of your identifying information is removed from what they see). If selected, you will be notified once all applications for that time period have been reviewed. If not selected, you will also be notified, and we will keep your application for the following month’s application cycle unless you tell us otherwise. But we will not keep it beyond that point, and you would need to apply again if not selected for two months.

*Occasionally, we may have smaller amounts available to distribute to those who aren’t selected for the main micro-grant options.
