Committee members are then encouraged to learn more about each agency. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to access the agency's website. The agency's web address is included in the email posting to each committee member. Then, after a suitable amount of time has elapsed, committee members email their recommendations for support back to the group leader. Agencies are then alerted by letter or email that their application has been approved or denied.
Some companies also post such information at their website.
The whole process is efficient, saves considerable time and is cost effective, thus allowing for additional dollars to be available for grants. It is made possible because of the growing use of technology and the power of the internet.
