2.2 Repeat applicants are subject to a 20% reduction on the
previous year’s allocation. This is to
reduce applicants’ dependency on Council grants and encourage fundraising and
income generation initiatives.
2.3 Where
possible, and if appropriate, new applicants should receive all or most of the
amount requested (up to 50% total project costs).
2.4 Grants
will only be awarded funding on receipt of the correct paperwork and an End of Project
monitoring form (if a grant was awarded in previous year).
(Reference: Report by
Executive Director – Community Services, dated 11 April 2017, submitted).
