• No applicant to whom a grant was made by the National Lotteries Commission will be eligible to apply for another grant within a period of twelve (12) months from the date of receipt of that grant, irrespective of whether the project is different to the one previously funded.

 

• The twelve (12) month “cooling-off” period will be counted from the date of the NLC’s last payment to the beneficiary. Please refer to clause 11 of the grant agreement signed with NLC.

 

• Applications will be categorized as follows:

 

Categories of Grants	Value of application	Application form to be completed
Small Grants	Not more than R500 000.00	Use FORM 2010/2
