Our Process
Grant Application
The application opens on July 1, 2026. The deadline for submission is September 25, 2026 at 11:59PM.
Application Review
Each application is reviewed by our Grants Committee in terms of its general eligibility and conformity to the grant guidelines, available funds, and project feasibility. The committee presents its recommendations to the Northfield Shares Board of Directors for final approval. We operate based on principles of integrity, trust, transparency, and accountability.
