Procedures necessary to receive grant and other basic requirements

1. Procedures necessary to receive grant
Implementing organizations must complete the following four-stage procedures before receiving grantmoney from the Japan World Exposition Commemorative Fund (JEC Fund Grant) of the Kansai Osaka
21st Century Association. If any change arises in the course of the implementation of the project, additional
procedures must be completed as necessary.
All documents required by the Association must be written in Japanese or English.
For a quick overview of the procedures, please refer to the following flowchart.
Stage 1: Submission of the "Pledge to Execute the Project and Receive the Payment" (see page 7for details)
The "Pledge to Execute the Project and Receive the Payment " must be submitted to the Association by thedesignated deadline.

‐1‐

Stage 2: Submission of "Progress Report and Plan for the Next Fiscal Year" (see page 14for details)
Please submit the "Progress Report and Plan for the Next Fiscal Year" by December 28 of each fiscal year (except
in the final year).
The details of the "Progress Report and Plan for the Next Fiscal Year" will be reviewed by the Review Board, which
will make a decision on the grant for the next fiscal year.
Please note that if the Board determines there are problems with how the project is progressing, the grant may not be
continued for the next and subsequent fiscal years.

Stage 3: Submission of the "Report on Completion of Project" (for each fiscal year) (see page 16 for details)
The "Report on Completion of Project" must be submitted within one month of completing the payment of the
Expenses to be covered by the JEC Fund Grant. Please note that if you miss the deadline to submit thecompletion report, the grant may not be paid.
At a later date, the Association will send you the "Notice of Final Determination on Grant."‐2‐

Stage 4: Payment of the Grant (see page 34 for details)
The grant money will be transferred to the bank account you designated in the "Pledge to Execute the Project andReceive the Payment."
Because the grant money is calculated together with Grant-eligible project expenses, it may be less than the
grant amount noted on the "Notice of Decision on Grant."

2. General terms to receive grant(1) Basic conditions to receive grant(i) Grant amountBecause the grant money is calculated together with Grant-eligible project expenses, it may be less than
the grant amount noted on the “Notice of Decision on Grant.” It should also be noted that the grantamount may be reduced or may not be paid at all if the implementing organization fails to show
an acknowledgement of funding by the Association as required below without good reason.
(ii) Payment of grant money
Once the “Report on Completion of Project” is submitted by the implementing organization, thefollowing three conditions are confirmed: i) The project has been carried out according to plan, ii)
Grant-eligible project expenses have been paid, and iii) acknowledgement of the JEC Fund is displayed.
The grant is paid as a reimbursement subsequent to post-project evaluation. (In determining grantamount, the Association considers whether the project has been implemented adequately andeffectively, whether there has been a ripple effect, etc.).
(iii) Diligence of a good director
Implementing organizations should carry out the projects with the diligence of a good director.
Especially, sufficient caution should be exercised to ensure safety so that no accident will occur during
implementation of the projects.
(iv) Separation of expenses
Implementing organizations should separate expenses applicable to the JEC Fund Grant and expenses
not applicable to the JEC Fund Grant. Also, they should separate project expenses from other project
expenses. If you are implementing the Grant-funded project in conjunction with another project, youmust separate costs for the other project as they are not covered by the Grant.
(v) Prohibition of other use
Implementing organizations are not allowed to use the JEC Fund Grant for any purposes other than the‐3‐project.
(vi) Maintenance of resulting properties
Implementing organizations should maintain/manage the properties that have resulted from the projectwith the diligence of a good director.
(vii) Surplus, reserve, and balance brought forward
Grant money may be reduced or its payment may be cancelled in case any surplus, reserve, and/or
balance brought forward accrue to the implementing organization when settling the account of the
project. Grant money should not be allocated to money paid to any higher organization that controls theimplementing organization, either.
(viii)Where the project is cancelled
If the project is cancelled, the grant will not be issued.
(2) Return of excess payment(i) If grant money is to be withdrawn in part or in whole after the money has been paid to an
implementing organization, the organization should return the grant money in part or in whole, as
appropriate, by the date specified by the Association. (See IX Withdrawal) In this case, theorganization should also pay to the Association an additional amount, calculated, on a prorated basis,
at a 10.95% annual interest rate on the grant money to be returned for the number of days from thenext day of receipt to return of the money. If the organization fails to return the grant money by the
specified date, the organization should pay to the Association an additional amount calculated, on aprorated basis, at a 10.95% annual interest rate on the grant money to be returned for the number ofdays from the next day of receipt to return of the money, plus a late payment charge calculated, on aprorated basis, at a 10.95% annual interest rate on the delayed payment for the number of days fromthe day immediately following the specified date to the date when payment is actually made.
(ii) If the grant money that has been already paid to an implementing organization exceeds the finallydetermined amount of grant, the organization should return the excess amount by the date specified by
the Association. If the organization fails to return the excess amount by the specified date, theorganization should pay to the Association a late payment charge calculated, on a prorated basis, at a10.95% annual interest rate on the excess amount for the number of days from the day immediately
following the specified date to the date when payment is actually made.
(3) On-the-spot inspection
To ensure that projects are going on as scheduled and that resulting properties are properly managed, theAssociation may, from time to time as necessary, request any implementing organization to submit a report,
or may have its staff visit the office or place of business of any implementing organization to inspect theiraccount books and other documents.
(4) Acknowledgement of the JEC Fund
Implementing organizations should show an acknowledgement of the JEC Fund in at least one of thefollowing items numbered (i) to (iii) according to the plan shown in the application form.

acknowledgement of the JEC Fund is shown. However, if submission of the originals is impossible,
photographs or other materials on which the acknowledgements are clearly visible may be submitted

‐8‐III. Procedures required during project implementation
1. Payment of expenses applicable to the JEC Fund Grant and treatment of expenses paid in a foreign
currency(1) Grant-covered expenses
Regarding Grant-covered expenses, the receiving organization is required to attach bills (including
breakdown) issued by service providers, as well as receipt copies, to the “Report on Completion of Project.”
Be sure to keep your receipts.
Expenses for which the receiving organization cannot produce receipts are not covered by the
Grant.
For travel and accommodation expenses, attach proof of travel and accommodation payment such as copiesof air tickets, receipts issued by hotels, etc. (including breakdown). Note that these expenses will not becovered if said receipts or documentation are missing or insufficient.
Expenses not specified as Grant-covered expenses in the “Notice of Decision on Grant” are not covered
even with a receipt.
Note that bills and receipts issued by service providers are required for all Grant-covered expenses.
(2) Treatment of expenses paid in a foreign currency
If an implementing organization pays any project expenses applicable to the JEC Fund Grant to project
participants and/or suppliers in a foreign currency, the organization is required to convert the amount ofsuch expenses into Japanese yen and indicate the amount in the “Report on Completion of Project.” This isbecause the Association will prepare a “Final Fund Allocation Table” in Japanese yen.
In principle, the amount should be converted into Japanese yen based on the exchange rate on the date of
the issuance of each receipt. The implementing organization is therefore required to attach documentation
evidencing the exchange rate on the day, such as a newspaper article, to “Report on Completion of Project.”
Fill in the exchange rate as of the date the receipt was issued, along with the amount converted to Japaneseyen. Also attach a Japanese translation of the expense breakdown.

Results of Post-Project Evaluation

At the Kansai Osaka 21st Century Association, we have conducted a post-project evaluation based on the “Report on
Completion of Project” submitted by the implementing organization in order to ascertain whether or not the project has
been completed adequately and effectively according to the plan shown in the application form (or according to thechanged plan, if applicable) and to see what outcomes and ripple effects have resulted. The following are the results of ourevaluation of your project, which may be helpful for you to plan for new projects in the future.

1. RatingRatingHas well exceeded the expected standards.

‐33‐VI. Payment of grant money (stage four)
1. How grant money is paid
Once the “Report on Completion of Project” is submitted by the implementing organization, the following
three conditions are confirmed: i) The project has been carried out according to plan, ii) Grant-eligible
project expenses have been paid, and iii) acknowledgement of the JEC Fund is displayed. The grant is paid
as a reimbursement subsequent to post-project evaluation. (In determining grant amount, the Associationconsiders whether the project has been implemented adequately and effectively, whether there has been aripple effect, etc.).
Because the grant money is calculated together with Grant-eligible project expenses, it may be lessthan the grant amount noted on the “Notice of Decision on Grant.” It should be also noted that the grantmoney is paid in Japanese yen and may not match the expected amount in local currency due to thedifference in exchange rate between the time of application and the time of payment.
Note that payment of the Grant will be delayed if there are any issues with the information noted on the“Report on Completion of Project” or the attached documents.
2. Transfer of grant money to your bank account
The grant money will be transferred to the bank account you designated in the “Pledge to Execute theProject and Payment Procedure Notification.”‐34‐
