Background
As part of the 2010 budget process, Council approved $54,281.00 within the operating budget for
Neighbourhood Association Grants. Each Association is entitled to no more than one grant per year and is
required to complete a grant application form, which details the purpose of their grant. The maximum grant
available remains $1,500.00 per Association.

A Post-Project Report must be submitted by each Association upon utilization of the funds. Subsequent
grant applications from an Association will not be considered unless a Post-Project Report has been
submitted for previous grants received by that Association.
Grant applications are reviewed by a committee consisting of a City staff member from the Leisure Services
Department and representatives from the Neighbourhood Associations.

Grant applications are eligible for funding under the following criteria:

1. Equipment - Equipment purchases should create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to
take part in a wide range of sports and leisure programs. In cases where assistance is given to a group or
association for the purchase of equipment or supplies, it should be noted that all such supplies or equipment
shall remain the property of the municipality, should the group in question dissolve.

2. Seed Programs - Seed project funding is usually aimed at work that has a defined beginning and end
and may be an addition to regular activities. Seed projects shall serve an outstanding need in the
community and will not compete with any other service provider. The applicant will demonstrate that the
project will have a direct benefit on group or individual development and will impact on the quality of life in
the Community.

3. Community Events - The Community special event that is hosted will be an unique event, that will make
the Community an even better place to live. The Association will plan it to reflect neighbourhood needs and
priorities. Events should lead to new activities, recognition of volunteers, new partnerships, create ways to
bring in new volunteers/new ways to serve, foster new leadership and involve all age groups in the
Community.

4. Operating Costs - Operating costs are defined as the group's ongoing costs ie : heat, hydro, water,
telephone etc. Staff costs are not eligible for funding. The intent of the operating funding is to assist groups
in effectively conducting their business, enabling them to use the resources that they do have for ongoing
activities rather than overhead.

The attached summary sheets outline the Neighbourhood Association Grant allocation for 2010, which total
$49,650.00. The identified funds are being distributed to a total of 34 Neighbourhood Associations,
throughout the City of Greater Sudbury.
