How much funding is available in total?

$600,000 across the whole programme. This is the total the funder has allocated, not an amount any single applicant can receive.

Is matching funding required?

No. The source states that no matching funds are required.

Is the money paid up front or reimbursed?

Reimbursement. Recipients spend first and claim the cost back, so the money has to be found before it is repaid.
