Deadline: 31-Oct-22
The Clearview Township Council is inviting applications for Community Assistance Grant to support, through direct financial assistance, those community groups that provide a recognized contribution to the well being of the residents of Clearview.
These grants are intended to provide the Township’s shared support of community projects and as such those seeking assistance should treat the availability of these limited funds as partial funding for their projects. Requests for multi-year and/or significant monetary requests are outside the support limits of this policy and should be directed to the appropriate Township departments through the Office of the Clerk via a specific and separate request for funding as part of the Township’s annual review budget.
Funding Information
- Assistance grants generally fall within the $100 to $1000 amount limits for a particular initiative and within any one year. Requests for assistance should not exceed 50% of the total annual budget of the initiative. Assistance applications exceeding the $1000 limit may be given consideration after more detailed evaluations of their merit and contribution to the overall community.
Eligibility Criteria
The Township of Clearview has provided support to a broad number and type of community activities through their past grant programs. Such not-for-profit initiatives as housing and shelter assistance, local cultural events, youth organizations, health and safety educational programs, sporting events, family support services, agricultural and heritage events and environmental awareness programs are examples of the services supported through this policy.
-
To be eligible for funding, the initiatives must satisfy the following general criteria:
- Applicants must be volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organizations providing service to Clearview residents.
- There must be a demonstrable or potential social, economic or environmental benefit to the residents of the Township of Clearview.
- Eligible initiatives should provide programs and services that are available and accessible to all Township residents on an equal basis.
- Assistance will be granted to those initiatives that are generally in support of the strategic and operational goals and objectives of Clearview Township and its residents.
Ineligible
- Generally, requests received to further the internal objectives of well supported, self reliant, for-profit organizations and private clubs, and associations promoting a specific political, religious or socio-economic ideology will not be considered for assistance under this policy.
- Also, otherwise eligible groups requesting large, multi-year assistance will not be considered under this policy. Applications of this nature will be directed to the appropriate municipal department through the Office of the Clerk as a specific and separate funding request. The applicant will be consulted and advised directly of this referral.
- Requests to waive or reduce user fees and rental rates for the use of Township services and facilities will not be considered. Applicants are advised to seek other forms of Community Assistance funding.
