Notes

In order to receive the funds, HODs must also complete a form (in December) with year-in-review delegation details.
Half of the funds are released to the HOD and half are paid to the delegation. HODs can “pass on” their half and can either redirect it to a different administrative volunteer in the delegation or allocate it to the delegation as a whole (i.e., deposit it into the team’s Centralized Account).
All funds will be transferred into the delegation’s Centralized Account, and a check will be cut to the HOD for their half from that Centralized Account.
