As a reminder, while grant evaluations are being finalized, grant distribution is as follows:
If a grant plan is approved, the applicant will receive 40% of the total funding. To unlock the remaining funds, critical milestones must be met. Please ensure that your milestones are discrete, trackable, and geared toward accomplishing their aims in 4-8 months.
To evaluate your milestones, you can use this milestone assessment link: Milestone Assessment.
If your critical milestones are well-detailed, align with the guidelines provided in the milestone assessment link, and you are comfortable with them, then you’re good to go. However, please be prepared to submit documentation proving that you have met your milestones, where necessary, to avoid delayed disbursement of the remaining funds.
