It is important to note that some jobs cannot be done during this time regardless of marketing, time, or money. Such jobs include but are not limited to personal services or hotel staff.

• Initiatives that support issues brought on by COVID19
• Shortage of medical resources needed to aid in containing the pandemic
• The Citizens For Citizens Fund Integrity Team will review applications and accept or reject based on our outlined criteria for need and priority.
• If accepted, the special national initiative or NGO is given funds to issue a grant to an individual or initiative.
• The special national initiative or NGO then must provide Citizens For Citizens Fund with a full report on how the funds were spent with confirming evidence. Follow up reports must also be made to ensure the funds worked as intended.
