      a grant from Yellow Brick Road,     

      additional time may be required.

• Applicants will be notified via email of:

      a) Receipt and status of application

      b) Approved grant amount, if any, after board

          consideration

Once funded projects are completed, grantees

will be asked to provide feedback about how

grant funds were used and what was achieved

as a result. Details will be provided in the grant

award letter.
