There is a protocol in my Department for processing applications for such grants. Completed application forms are registered in my Department's finance unit and forwarded to the relevant services division for assessment, evaluation and recommendation. All applications are then considered in the context of the recommendation and the overall level of funds available. The application is one of many under consideration. The organisation will be informed as soon as a decision is made. Grants are paid to organisations within the year of approval except where an application is funded over more than one year.
