How do we assess?

When you apply for community funding, either a Quick Response or Community Grant, your application will be assessed for the degree of fit your project or initiative has with one or more of our four focus areas.

We also look at the community need for your project or service, and how effectively your organisation can deliver, as well as your organisation’s financial position, and alignment to good-practice principles.

• Does the service, programme or event fit with one of our focus areas? If so, in what ways does it fit?
• Are you meeting a community need?
• If so, is someone else already meeting it?
• Is there collaboration with other organisations?
• Is your organisation in good financial shape?
• Have you thought about risks, such as Health and Safety?
• What sort of evaluation is planned?
• Is your work aligned to good practice principles, if these are applicable?
• Can you effectively deliver?
