For
Kibanda Applications, no such restriction applies, provided the all the information required by our partner agencies is submitted and if such applications are made by Developmental Coordinators or other Spiritan functionaries, they must have the approval of their Superior and in many cases, also from another relevant authority. However, Kibanda projects presented for "direct Kibanda funding", as opposed to agency funding, if they are under Euro 10,000, are limited to two projects from each circumscription for our Kibanda May and November Board meetings. Finally, emergency applications related to natural disasters or epidemiological crises, can be considered by our emergency committee, at any time of the year.
Spiritan confreres may submit one mission-related grant application per year. A maximum of three grant applications will be accepted during the calendar year from any province when they are approved and forwarded through the province's development office.
