Terms and Conditions
Individuals who apply but are not selected for a CPG grant are welcome to reapply. However, they will not necessarily receive preference over new proposals that are submitted in future years.
Grant funds may not be used to pay for the cost of family members or other companions who may accompany the recipient on an adventure.
Unused funds may not be awarded as cash.
All submissions must be within the maximum amount (i.e., the amount requested cannot exceed the maximum for that fund).
Although timing is worth mentioning as a consideration in a proposal, it cannot be a major factor in evaluating applications; if it were, grants might be awarded on the basis of the most compelling annual circumstances rather than on the basis of individual merit.
A plan that is simply a recreational vacation does not fit the spirit of growth as outlined in the grant criteria. Also, purchasing tangible goods does not qualify.
Under current IRS regulations, grants may be taxable as income in the year taken, so recipients may be liable for taxes on the full amount of their grant; please keep this factor in mind when budgeting.
