Finalising The Grant Process

Understanding the Approval Communication

• If your grant has been approved, you will receive a formal approval communication which is generated by the COMS system.

Spend the Grant Funding

• Can the authorised purpose be amended?

Grant recipients may only use the funding for the specified Authorised Purpose for which the grant application  was made and approved.

If funding is applied or used for any other purpose, the funds must be refunded.

Any request for permission to amend the Authorised Purpose must be made in writing to [email protected]. If TLF agrees to amend the Authorised Purpose, this will be communicated in writing.

• Can a different supplier be used?

Once a grant is approved the grant recipient must then use the supplier/s who provided the quote unless you have written permission from The Lion Foundation to use an alternative supplier. To obtain written permission, please contact [email protected] .
