How we assess applications
We check every CGF application for eligibility. We will get back to you if any information is missing or unclear.
Local funding panels will consider all eligible applications. Panels typically consist of ward councillors, community councillors plus representatives from local community organisations.
Panels will look for evidence of how the project will benefit the local community as well as accurate costings.
They may recommend to
- fully fund the project
- offer partial funding
- decline to recommend an award
- the panel may choose to defer an application to get further information if funds allow.
Recommendations from funding panels are then considered by the Community Empowerment and Engagement team Head of Service, Andrew Field.
If approved, we will get in touch with formal funding agreement papers.
