| Grant Funding Policy | The overall aim of the policy is: ‘To ensure Council has a consistent, customer focused process with relevant assessment and evaluation procedures with appropriate appeal and monitoring systems in place.’ The Grant Funding Policy is built on a set of agreed principles and an understanding that: Grant funding awards are at the sole discretion of council but will be dependent on the Council’s available and agreed level of funding which is determined in the annual budget. Activities grant funded must be fully consistent with strategic aims and priorities of the strategies to be addressed. Due regard will be given to equality considerations in accordance with section 75 and any other statutory duty. All funding applications will be determined on their objective merits. No organisation is entitled to funding because it may have been granted funding in the past or for any other reason. A consistent, customer focused process is required in relation to grant applications with relevant assessment and evaluation procedures with appropriate appeal and monitoring systems in place. Council must ensure proper, prudent and effective use of Public Money. Contracted services must be tendered in adherence to the Council’s Procurement Process. | Revised |
