Trust staff will respond with information on the eligibility of the project and how to prepare a proposal for financial assistance. Applicants are encouraged to contact Trust staff early to obtain current information about the availability of funds and timing of the proposal. When the Trust receives a project application, staff ensure it is complete and that the project is eligible. If information is missing, staff request it. If the project is not eligible, staff may suggest an alternative program.
Staff carry forward complete and eligible proposals for adjudication.
When a decision is made, project sponsors are notified by mail. If successful, the letter will outline conditions to be met by the project sponsors. If the proposal is declined, the letter will state the reasons for the decision. If a decision was deferred, the letter will request additional information. Please Note The Trust board seeks to allocate its limited funds in the most effective and efficient way to achieve the greatest heritage benefit.
