3. Important Notes
Our fiscal year is from 1 April to 31 March.
Projects are to be started in April, July or October in principle. All projects should conclude by March, regardless of when they begin. For example, a 1-year project that begins in July and ends the following June would be treated as a 2-year project. (1st year: July to March, 2nd year: April to June)
For multi-year projects, the book should be closed in March each year. Roll-over of any remaining budget to the following fiscal year is not permitted.
Indirect costs should not exceed 10% of direct costs.
In principle, an organization is eligible to apply for only one scheme at a time. This is to enable us to offer grants to more organizations.
SMHF may send a Request for Proposal to targeted organizations.
4. Application Procedure
Please submit your proposal by filling out the Grant Application Form. We will review each application and be in touch within 30 days, ONLY IF we are interested in learning more.
