The ASC Community Partnerships Committee reviews grants on a quarterly basis. Qualified nonprofits must submit their application according to the timetable outlined below. Only completed applications will be reviewed. Completed applications will be acknowledged in writing. A representative from the Community Partnerships Committee may schedule a site visit or an interview, although this may not always be required.
