- Reimbursement stipends are anywhere from $100 to $1,500 USD and vary with travel distance.
The TSC will consider each proposal in its next regular meeting. While it is ultimately at the TSC's discretion who to approve the following considerations are made.
- Impact: Preference given to underserved communities. More specifically, within a subject the foundation trying to promote awareness about (e.g. general knowledge about the foundation) there are people, communities and geographies where that knowledge is not very wide spread. This is where preference will be given. For instance, an event in San Francisco would be less attractive than an event of the same size in Kansas City.
- Cost: The larger the stipend the more critically the TSC will consider the application. Budget for this program is a finite resource.
- Equity: Preference given to individuals who do not have a corporate travel fund and have not previously received a stipend.
