Review Process & Decision
In all cases, Sage notifies applicants by email. Sage’s approval is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, our funding availability, areas of interest alignment, and the event details and agenda. All recipient organizations must abide by the terms and conditions as outlined in the Letter of Agreement (LOA), which is issued electronically to an authorized signatory of the organization once the application is approved. The organization must agree to the terms of the LOA before the start date and Sage may not receive any benefit(s) prior to LOA execution. Payment will be issued upon execution of the LOA.
Reconciliation
Within 60 days of the request end date, recipient organizations must complete a reconciliation confirming receipt of funds and attesting that Sage received the tangible benefits described in the request and LOA. An organization’s failure to appropriately submit a reconciliation by the due date may delay or prohibit future funding of applications.
