Spinner,you don't appear to have much grasp of the way that grants and awards like this work; as Gayle so succinctly puts it in her first post,the party involved must have filled in the forms correctly and proved that this award would be of benefit to the community. The money is given to spend on a specified project;you can't just apply for it and then decide to spend on some unrelated random nonsense.
You seem to have a real bee in your bonnet about this for no good reason; jealousy maybe or just misunderstanding?
Your community can apply for this kind of thing too;Gayle is a specialist in this area and would be more than willing to help you if you asked her;there are pots of money like this being given out all the time,it's a matter of form filling and proving the projects usefullness to the wider community.
