The City's email server limits attachment size per email to 25MB. We recommend that you submit your application via a dropbox link, especially if you are including additional attachments.
4) Does a deferred developer's fee constitute an organizational "match"?
Yes, this resource is deferred to increase the immediate financial viability of the project, so it's a match.

The latter option is fine, as long as the applicant ensures the same layout is used and nothing is omitted.
