Timeline & Review
📅 Application Timeline: Rolling / ongoing
📅 Recommended Lead Time: At least 30 days before support is needed
📅 Minimum Review Period: 30 days
Organizations planning an event should apply as early as possible. The published 30-day timeframe should be treated as the minimum review period rather than a guarantee that a decision will be issued within exactly 30 days.

Applicants should:
- Gather all required tax and organizational documentation before starting
- Prepare a concise explanation of the request and community benefit
