Quotes for expenditure items of $10,000 and over
For medium and large stream applications to be eligible, you must attach evidence of expenditure for all budget items of $10,000 and over, where MFE Program funds will be used to support the cost. Evidence of expenditure includes quotes, and must be for the event that the applicant is seeking funding for.
Your organisation does not need to supply quotes if you can break down items further within a separate budget attached to the application. For example, if performer/artist fees exceed $10,000 in total, but the total is made up of multiple fees, this can be explained in the budget as, for example,
3 individual artists costing $3,500 each, to a total of $10,500.
Documentation will be deemed ineligible if the:
- quote does not include the letter head of the company providing the service or item
- quote does not match the budget activity, service or item and cost
- quote was obtained earlier than 24 months before the application deadline
- separate budget does not match costs within the application’s budget section.
