    How to approach this funder

    Check the relevant program deadline and committee meeting cycle before applying, as most grants are only considered at scheduled District Grants Committee meetings. For capital and eco projects, be prepared to show matched funding, a clear budget, and how the project supports mission or long-term sustainability; for urgent repairs, use the fast-track extraordinary repairs route if the issue is safety-critical.
