[Oceania-Board] Grant submission by Geogeeks Perth

[Alex Leith]

Hi Eli

I'll raise this budget request with the Board for voting.

Regarding high-budget grants, I don't think the Board needs to be involved
in deciding who gets what grants. If a worthy applicant asks for two large
grants, and the Grant Committee thinks they're both worthwhile, then I
think we can be supportive.

Just for reference, we have a 22-23

budget that is approved,  and this should probably be considered the
ceiling for grants. From when I last updated our budget and actuals, we
spent around $3,000 out of a budget of $8,000.

This coming FY budget is $8,000 again, so the committee can continue
approving grants up to this limit. This should be a guide for the Grant
Committee.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
