Q25: If local rents or material costs suddenly rise dramatically during the implementation of a Grant-approved project, will the Grant cover the additional expense?

A: Because the Grant payment is decided based on the financial plan of the JFGE, it is difficult to exceed the amount stated in the Notification of JFGE Grant Approval, even if expenses increase for individual projects because of economic conditions.

Therefore, if this situation should occur, the granted organization needs to review its action plan.

If there are significant changes to the action plan due to the review or if there are increases of over 20% in any of the expense categories for the financial plan for the Grant, then a Application Form for Approval of Change in the JFGE-Granted Project (Article 9 JFGE Grant Policies and Procedures) must be submitted and approved by the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency.
