* Requests that do not comply with the set criteria for the program will be auto-declined by the system or blocked from submitting.  For example, if a geographic restriction is set and the recipient organization is outside of the area selected, they will receive an on-screen message that indicates the location does not qualify for this program.

Selections for remaining items will limit the applicant’s choices to one of the items.  For example, Use of Funds.  If Operating and Special Project are selected, only those two uses will be available to the applicant.
