   • Details and timing for use of funds
2. The board will consider proposals up to $10,000 with most grants falling between $1,100 and $5,000.
   • Requests that align with the CIPF mission and are $1,000 or less can be approved by the Executive Director, without board approval, up to a cumulative annual limit of $5,000.
   • Requests over $1,000 will be reviewed by the Grants Committee and recommended to the Board of Directors.
   • The Board of Directors will vote on that recommendation during the regularly scheduled board meeting.
     • If there is an urgent request, it may be approved off-cycle by the Executive Committee.
