Agenda item
Revised application process for Foreshore Trust Grants
Minutes:
The Regeneration Manager presented the report of the Head of Regeneration and Planning Policy to introduce the recommendations of the Grant Advisory Panel (GAP) in respect of the grant funding process and revised associated forms.
At their meeting on 23 September 2014, the Grant Advisory Panel considered a number of changes to the application form and assessment method for the small grants and events programme. They identified a number of improvements to the forms and associated documentation to make the process simpler, less confusing for applicants and easier to understand.
The report outlined several changes to the process, application form and guidance notes. The committee were required to approve the revisions.
Members of the committee thanked officers for the report.
Councillor Cartwright moved approval of the recommendations to the report which was seconded by Councillor Forward.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that the Charity Committee:
1) approves the recommendations of the Grant Advisory Panel in relation to changes to the funding application form and assessment criteria.
2) adopt the revised small and events grants processes and associated forms as set out in this report and its appendices.
The reason for this decision was:
The recommended changes to the grant funding process by GAP, simplifies the application forms, asks for information more proportionate to the funding available, and makes the assessment method more transparent. Officers supporting the administration process also recommend the changes.
Improvements to the forms and associated documentation are suggested to make the process simpler, less confusing for applicants and easier to assess, while maintaining an efficient, transparent and auditable process.
