            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).
