How frequently are donation request decisions made?
Advanced Disposal has a rolling review policy when evaluating funding requests for philanthropic charitable support. This allows qualified requestors the opportunity to apply anytime during the year.
Requests must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the project/program start date. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Please refrain from submitting applications for which the project/program start date is more than 12 months away. Early submissions will not ensure an early decision.
Thank you for considering Advanced Disposal for your event/charitable giving opportunity.
