Onerous sponsorship

The RESTART Foundation does not provide grants because of the provisions of Article 4, Item 7, of MUR Notice No. 341 of 15.3.2022; this provision that limits the functions of the Foundation exclusively to management and coordination activities of the Partnership. For this reason, the request for onerous sponsorship must be submitted to the Mission Coordinator relevant to the subject of the request.

If the proposal is deemed meritorious, the Mission Coordinator will authorize the expenditure from its Mission budget.
