GRANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The Chapel & York Hong Kong Foundation (the ‘Foundation’) is a charitable entity registered under the name ‘Hong Kong Foundation for Charities’ under Section 88 of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department.

The Foundation is pleased to be able to help your organisation as part of our mission to support the advancement of education, religion and the alleviation of poverty worldwide.

Grants are made monthly in line the Hong Kong Foundation’s Grant Making Policy. The Board delegates authority to Foundation staff to make appropriate grant decisions. If your organisation receives a Grant, then your organisation becomes the “Grantee”.

Any Grant made to your organisation by the Foundation shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, and your acceptance of any Grant signifies your acceptance of such terms and conditions.

  1. The Grant funds will be used by the Grantee for the intended purpose the Grantee has advised to the Foundation, and are subject to an annual financial report. If there are changes to the purpose of the Grant, the Grantee shall submit a written request to the Foundation in advance.

  2. The Grantee agrees that any and all Grant funds will be used exclusively for exempt purposes, and shall repay to the Foundation any portion of the Grant that is not used exclusively for charitable purposes.
  3. No portion of any Grant may be used for propaganda purposes, to participate in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office, to make subgrants to individuals on a non-objective basis, or to subgrant to any organisation for non-charitable purposes.
  4. The Grantee certifies that it does not knowingly support (including through subgrants), employ or do business with, directly or indirectly, individuals, entities, or groups that are subject to sanctions, that appear on the United Nations Security Council sanctions list, or with individuals, entities or groups known to the Grantee to support terrorism, organised crime or any other criminal activity or to have violated sanctions. Upon request, the Grantee shall provide to Foundation all names and information requested by the Foundation to substantiate that this verification is, and continues to be, accurate during any period when the organisation is requesting, receiving, or expending funds from the Foundation. In the event that this verification is no longer accurate, the Grantee will promptly notify the Foundation and offer, subject to the Foundation’s further request, immediate repayment of the Grant.
  5. The Grantee shall maintain records of receipts and disbursements related to the use of the Grant and will make such records available for inspection, upon request, by the Foundation.
  6. The Grantee hereby certifies that, with respect to any Grants that it receives from the Foundation, it is in compliance and will continue to comply with all applicable Hong Kong laws relating to its use of funds inside and outside of Hong Kong.
  7. The Grantee shall notify the Foundation immediately of any significant organisational changes during the term of the Grant, including any changes in charitable status.
  8. The Grantee will permit representatives of the Foundation to review the activities of the Grantee and will permit the Foundation to conduct an independent financial and/or programmatic audit of the expenditure of the Grant.
  9. The Grantee will provide an annual update relating to the purpose of any Grant(s) on the date of membership renewal, detailing how the Grantee utilised the Grant funds during the previous year, and providing evidence if the Board of the Foundation should request it.
  10. The Grantee provides permission for the Foundation to use photographs, logos, published/printed information, and any other materials the Grantee supplies, without further notice, in websites, press releases and/or publications.
  11. If the Grantee should violate the terms and conditions of this Grant, the Foundation reserves the right to withhold any payments not already disbursed and to seek repayment of funds already disbursed, if appropriate.

The Board of Directors of the Foundation is pleased to make this Grant and wishes you continuing success in meeting the worthy objectives of your organisation.
