Applying for Grants

Overview

    The intent of the South Pasadena Chinese-American Club (SPCC) grant system is to

fund projects that contain educational or cultural (preferably Chinese) content. The decision

rests with the SPCC Grant Committee insofar as acceptance or denial of the project is

concerned.

    Projects of indeterminable duration must show self-sufficiency after SPCC funding has

ended.  That is, SPCC is not liable for funding after the period specified in the proposal.  The

Grant Committee may choose to fund part or the entire proposed project.

    The Grant Committee may request the applicant to submit an abstract, provide a display,

or present some description of the project.
