Once the Trustees have approved an applicant for funding, a letter will be sent to that applicant indicating the judgment of the Trustees and the next steps in securing funding. Recipients will be notified by March for funding beginning in May. Applicants who were not selected may reapply for the next evaluation cycle, if applicable. Decisions made by MAF Board of Trustees are final.
