IWIRC Network Grant Request Protocol
Network grants are available to Networks in the following circumstances (i) new Network signing bonus; (ii) Regional or Multiple Network events; and (iii) Network recruiting events provided the Network(s). While it is expected that such events will be funded by the Network(s) themselves, IWIRC International has earmarked money in its budget to supplement the funding provided by the Network(s), provided need is established.
