Step 4: If you have been successfully shortlisted, get a plan together of how you are going to tell your story and promote your project to get as much support for it as possible. You have 3 months to do this! Get creative and use social media, newsletters, news articles and word of mouth to promote your project.

Step 5: Come to our 20th Birthday "Carnival" Street Party on Friday 22nd February 2019 from 5pm - 9pm in Cambridge Street with as many of your members, supporters, friends and families as you can muster. The more people there, the more tokens you can collect.

Attendees will be able to vote for your project with the token they receive upon entry. At the end of the event we will tally up and you will receive a percentage of the $20,000. If you manage to get 50% of the tokens in your box, then you could receive $10,000 towards your project.

Step 6: Once the tokens have been counted, funds will be distributed to your account and then you can begin working on your project.

Step 7: Within 13 months of receiving your funding, you will be required to complete the online Project Completion Report via this portal. You will be required to upload your receipts and photos of your completed project.
