Grants are typically non-taxable in most jurisdictions, but recipients are responsible for confirming local tax policies with their authorities.
At Rise Fund Global, there is no fee to apply for any of our grants. However, to safeguard our beneficiaries and uphold the highest standards of financial integrity, all shortlisted applicants are required to confirm their payout account through a one-time, refundable verification deposit of 5$ for personal grants, 15$ for startup grants and 20$ for CBO/NGO grant.
This process:

Refund Guarantee:
