INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW PROCESS

Reviewers, who may be either donors, volunteers, or members of the Yukon Foundation Board, review applications and make their recommendations to the Yukon Foundation Awards Committee by the end of June.  The Awards Committee then reviews all the recommendations, and makes the final decisions on the grants and the scholarships.  The Award Committee decisions are formally approved by the Executive Committee of the Yukon Foundation's board of directors.
