11. Clarification – Repeat Grants
Repeat Grants are not allowed under the Foundation Terms and Conditions (for Global or District Grants)
A repeat project with new beneficiaries is considered to be a new unique Grant
i.e. GLP

12. Advice on District Grants
Your original project concept may be no longer viable after receiving approval and funding
Look into alternatives with a similar budget and set of objectives
Submit an updated application
Try to do this as soon as possible as changes may be required to the overall ‘block grant’
