Thank you for you interest in the Community Connection Fund. We have made several changes to the Fund this year and they are outlined below.
- Per Diems for Travel: We will no longer provide per diem allowances for travel expenses (this means food and incidentals).
- Multiple Reimbursements for Groups: We will no longer approve multiple reimbursements for expenses incurred by groups or teams. Reimbursement requests must be consolidated and submitted as a single reimbursement.
- Application Deadlines: Applications submitted after an initiative has occurred will not be approved. Additionally, applications received less than 2 weeks prior to an event will not be considered for approval. We strongly encourage applications to be submitted 4-6 weeks prior to an event to ensure sufficient time for review, approval, and processing.
- Competitive Approval Process: This year, we anticipate the fund being fully utilized, making the approval process more competitive. We encourage all applicants to plan accordingly and submit thorough and timely applications.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Be sure to hit submit to make sure your application has been submitted for approval.
