THE OVERALL AMOUNT FUNDED EACH YEAR IS REQUESTED OF THE BOARD AT THE ANNUAL BUDGET MEETING. IT CAN BE ADJUSTED UP BASED ON NEED OR DOWN BASED ON LOWER INCOME THAN PROJECTED. THE GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION DOES NOT GIVE OUT GRANTS, BUT THEY DO FUND "AID". SOME "AID" IS NOT MONETARY BUT IN-KIND, AS IS THE CASE OF A PORTION OF GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION'S EMPLOYEE SALARIES WHO ALSO GIVE VISITOR INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. ALL AID MUST FIT WITHIN THE ASSOCIATION'S NON-PROFIT STATUS AND BE USED FOR INTERPRETATION, EDUCATION, OR RESEARCH. THE AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE MUST LIST WHAT THE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR AND SIGN THE REQUEST. IT IS THEN FORWARDED TO THE GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION WHERE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE REQUEST TO BE SURE THAT IT IS AN APPROPRIATE USE OF FUNDS. IF SO, THE DONATION REQUEST IS SIGNED AND FORWARDED TO THE BOOKKEEPER FOR PAYMENT.
