This year, the EPIC Grant is up to TT$150,000.00. You are required to complete the project within the budget. However, you can solicit the support of other donors to assist in funding your project. Please declare your other funders/partners in your application form. Once shortlisted, you will need to provide evidence of their support/commitment.
If your project is to extend past the 12-16 week timeframe, we expect that you immediately indicate the reason for the extension and provide a revised timeline for completion. Your request for an extension then has to be approved by the Foundation in collaboration with Shell Trinidad and Tobago.
