My application was turned down. Can I appeal?  

Category: General Grants and Funding

Decisions made by the Gwaii Trust Board of Directors are final and there is no appeal process for applications that have been declined or partially funded by the Board. Grant decisions made by staff according to Board set policy (see grant page for details) may be appealed to the Board of Directors.  If you wish to appeal a decision, a letter outlining the basis of your appeal and any supporting evidence must be submitted to your Project Officer within 30 days of the decision.  

Appeals for late applications will not be considered. The appeal will be added to a regular Board meeting agenda and a decision will be made within six weeks.
