Some projects call for short-term funding.
Others require multi-year funding to assure continuity as a program progresses from planning through implementation and, in some instances, dissemination. We encourage organizations to develop from the outset a plausible plan to sustain the program with stable, long-term funding. NAI Giving also looks for evidence of support by the community when appropriate. NAI Giving encourages the programs to demonstrate community support, document their program's effectiveness, aid in future replication efforts, or improve the function of the projects in order to receive on-going grants. Organizations whose operations or projects are located in relative proximity to Network Associates' offices may be given priority when in competition for funding with other organizations.
