sometimes give out partial funding rather than the full amount requested?
There are three main reasons the Committees support only partial funds for a group. First, we believe that the validation a grant award offers to a community group is equally as important as the actual funds. Thus, when there are a lot of strong applications in one round NEGEF chooses to offer partial funding (and full validation!) so that as many groups as possible receive support. Second, the project budget does not seem clear and there isn’t a compelling case for the use of the total requested funds. Third, you may have received multiple grants from NEGEF before and if there are many strong applications we prefer to give full funding to new groups.
