The [name of province] Department of Basic Education regrets to inform you that your application
for ECD funding for the [fill in the relevant financial year] financial year has been approved, but
unfortunately could not be funded due to insufficient funds in the department’s budget for ECD

of [RXXX million] for ECD services. In addition, the province received [RYYY million] from the ECD
Conditional Grant from national government. The Department of Basic Education has fully disbursed
these funds to ECD programmes that were higher on the funding queue.
Please be advised, that the department will keep your application on record and should additional
funds become available in [fill in the relevant financial year] the department will contact you and
make arrangements for the signing of a service level agreement. However, given the tight fiscal
circumstances, this is unlikely, so please make alternative financing arrangements as best you can.

as early as possible after the date for submitting applications opens.
