[color=blue]A total of ten thousand dollars was spent on radio advertising ,despite recent requests for budget-cutting measures.
[size=150]That is the correct form.[/size]
[color=blue]Here’s some examples of the use of “despite”.
regardless of: although it might have been prevented by something.
[size=75]The mission blasted off today despite bad weather.[/size]
contrary to: indicates that something is done unexpectedly or unintentionally.
[size=75]She blushed deeply despite herself.[/size]
IN SPITE OF:
Not stopped by; regardless of: They kept going in spite of their fears.
So, I think you can use them interchangeably
