A total of 100 points are available on each review sheet. The grant is not to be used as seed money for research. The environmental project must already be underway. The environmental project need not occur in North America, but North American projects will be given 5 bonus points on each panelists review sheet.

Preference will be given to applicants who have not yet received the Philip Hyde Grant. An annual report outlining the use of the grant must be furnished to the NANPA Foundation no later than March 31. Such annual reports must be provided until all of the grant funding has been allocated towards expenses, at which time a closing report will be furnished to the NANPA Foundation no later than 90 days from the time the grant money has been completely allocated towards expenses. Recipients should plan to attend the NANPA Summit to accept the grant award and, if feasible present their project at the Environment Committee meeting. Should the grant not be awarded in a given year, due to a lack of qualifying grant proposals, the grant money may either be awarded as an additional grant in the following year or be used by the NANPA Foundation for an environmental education project of its choosing.
