How Council assesses your application

Seeding, project and operational grants

1. The initial assessment of seeding grants, project grants and operational grants submitted under the annual Moreland Community Grants Program is done by a Council Officer to make sure the application is complete and meets eligibility requirements.
2. If the application passes the initial assessment phase, it is then examined in more detail and given a score against each of the eligibility requirements.
3. After this stage, all applications and score sheets are handed over to a panel of senior Council Officers who make the final recommendations for funding allocations.

The funding allocations recommended by the Assessment Panel are reported to Council for consideration, and if appropriate, final approval.

Quick response, achievement, seniors and membership grants

1. Quick response grants, seniors and membership grants, and achievement grants are assessed throughout the financial year and are available until all monies are expended.
2. Applications are assessed by a Council Officer to ensure all eligibility criteria have been met. 
3. The Council Officer then makes a recommendation to a Senior Council Officer for approval.

Allow at least 4 - 6 weeks for the application process to be complete.
