FAS believes
that in some foreign markets, the Internet may be an
effective way to expand the reach of promotional messages
to a broader audience. In addition, FAS believes that the
impact and reach of its own homepages and those of
Cooperators and Participants can be greatly expanded if
they are "linked" to one
another, effectively multiplying the audience and scope
of information communicated at less cost for both.
Therefore, to encourage use of the Internet as both a
promotional and educational tool and linkages between FAS
and its program participants, FAS will authorize
reimbursement of up to 50 percent of the costs of
developing, updating, and servicing non-branded websites
on the Internet, provided:
Computer hardware purchases related to website development will not be reimbursed. |
