Use of donated funds, fund management and award allocation decisions will be made in accordance with RRUF policies and procedures and the agreed eligibility criteria as they may be amended from time to time.
The City reserves the right to review the established criteria on an annual basis and may make changes to the eligibility criteria. Any changes will not affect those awards which have already been made even if they have not yet been paid out.
