Provide grants over $5,000 for key projects that directly contribute to the achievement of the Council's priorities as outlined in its strategic documents. Preference will be given to initiatives that meet the goals of more than one DCC strategy.
As well as the DCC grants funding general criteria the following criteria apply.
- Funding requests that qualify for consideration will be in line with the Community Grants and Arts Grants criteria.
- Funds will only be granted on an annual basis, however groups can reapply.
- Events projects are not eligible for funding under this scheme.
- Those organisations could be eligible for both a City Service Grant and also a City Project Grant. If in the opinion of the Grants Subcommittee the project was significantly outside the organisation’s usual work and could not be funded adequately by other grants.
- Applications for these funds would be considered by the Grants Subcommittee once a year.
