EmpowerGrants Solution - Complete Terms and Conditions
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before applying for any grant through EmpowerGrants Solution. By submitting an application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.
1.1 "Association" refers to EmpowerGrants Solution, a legally registered grant facilitation organization.

2.1 Age Requirements
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and not older than 85 years at the time of application, except where specific grant categories allow exceptions.
Applicants must be legal residents of one of the countries served by EmpowerGrants Solution and must have maintained continuous residency for at least 3 months prior to application.
All information provided in the application must be complete, accurate, and truthful. Any misrepresentation, omission, or fraudulent information will result in immediate disqualification and may result in legal action.
A non-refundable administrative processing fee is required with each application submission. This fee covers the costs of application review, document verification, background checks, and administrative processing. Fee amounts are based on the grant amount requested and are clearly stated during the application process.
Applicants may only submit one active application at a time. Subsequent applications may only be submitted after a final decision has been rendered on any previous application, or after a minimum waiting period of 3 months from a previous denial.
By submitting an application, applicants grant EmpowerGrants Solution the right to review, verify, and process all submitted information and documents.
Applications are evaluated based on eligibility, demonstrated need, viability of proposed use, completeness of documentation, and alignment with grant program objectives.
All grant approval decisions are made at the sole discretion of EmpowerGrants Solution. The Association reserves the right to approve, deny, or request additional information for any application without providing detailed justification.
Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. Meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not entitle an applicant to receive a grant.
While we strive to process applications within stated timeframes, the Association reserves the right to extend processing times when additional verification or review is required.
Applicants will be notified of decisions via email and registered mail to the address provided in the application.
Denied applicants may submit a written appeal within 30 days of receiving the denial notification. Appeals must include new information or documentation not previously considered. Appeal decisions are final.
Approved applicants must sign a Grant Disbursement Agreement before funds are released. This agreement specifies the grant amount, intended use, disbursement schedule, and beneficiary obligations.
Grants may be disbursed via:
Direct bank transfer to beneficiary's verified account
Direct payment to third-party providers (educational institutions, medical facilities, vendors, etc.)
Structured payment schedule for larger grants
Combination of methods as determined appropriate
Funds are typically disbursed within 10-15 business days after all required documents are signed and returned. Larger grants may be disbursed in installments.
Beneficiaries may be required to provide proof that grant funds were used for the stated purpose. This may include receipts, invoices, enrollment confirmation, or other documentation.
Any grant funds not used for the stated purpose within the agreed timeframe must be returned to EmpowerGrants Solution.
Beneficiaries must use grant funds solely for the purpose stated in their application and grant agreement.
Beneficiaries may be required to submit progress reports or outcome documentation as specified in their grant agreement.
Beneficiaries must cooperate with any reasonable requests for information or verification from the Association.
Beneficiaries may be asked to participate in success stories, testimonials, or promotional materials. While participation is voluntary, beneficiaries consent to the Association sharing anonymized success metrics.
Grant awards are non-transferable and may not be assigned to any other individual or entity.
