- Projects that will provide leverage in an agency’s ability to secure other funds.
- Projects that, in responding to known community needs, are designed to coordinate or consolidate community services in an effort to reduce overhead expenses, increase efficiency, or eliminate unnecessary duplication.
- Programs that would contribute to youth, therapeutic animal services, rescue animal services, or the senior citizen community of Gilroy by addressing the cause of major problems rather than merely discussing their continuing effect upon society.
