Can I reapply if I have been declined for funding in the past?

I have a regional request; can I just go to my local branch and apply through them?

All funding requests must be submitted online.

Why was my organization declined for funding?

More than 20,000 funding requests are received annually. Due to this overwhelming volume, it is not always possible to respond favourably.
