Can the participating units of Guangdong United Fund be from outside the province?
You can't. The website of Guangdong Science and Technology Department shows that the applicant should be a provincial-level fund supporting unit registered in the administrative area of Guangdong Province. So it can't be a unit outside the province. Guangdong Province, a provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC). Located in the south of Nanling, on the coast of the South China Sea, it borders China, Hongkong, China, Macau, China, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian, and faces Hainan across the sea.
