It is the policy of the Actors Fund that it will make the grant directly payable to the service provider, thereby ensuring that the requested bills are timely paid. 2. On an exceptional basis, grants may be made payable to an individual. When this occurs, the grantee must provide proof that the grant was used for the requested bill i.e.; the grantee must provide a rent receipt showing payment, food purchase receipts. 3. For all grantees that receive assistance on a continual basis, they are required to meet with their counselor to review budgets and financial need. 4.
