Personally, I think it is important that grant recipients have “skin in the game” and  either partially self fund or raise the money from their employers and local community. It’s up to each LOC to decide whether they want to provide larger levels of funding to a small number of applicants with high travel costs or whether they want to focus on those nearer to the event who need less funding to attend

I agree with you, as long as the terms are clear before hand, it is fine.

My guess is that regional and national TGP will focus on locals and
short travels.
