Funding Capacities

The GBSSA Board of Directors wants to stimulate collaborative projects amongst its membership.  Therefore, a formal funding capacity will not be pre-set.  However, the current financial status of the GBSSA will always be a consideration as application packages are reviewed.  In addition, the GBSSA Board of Directors may choose not to fund any grant requests in a given membership year.
