The Gahanna Community is defined as within the city limits of Gahanna and/or whose membership is comprised primarily of City of Gahanna residents. Additional consideration will be given to those serving the broader Gahanna-Jefferson School District.
- No match of the Community Grant funds is required; however, organizations will be evaluated on the total percent of overall budget requested. Groups currently receiving funding from the City of Gahanna must submit a new application to request funding for 2025. Funding in previous years does not guarantee funding in the future.
- Funding should be utilized for direct program costs. No more than ten percent (10%) of awarded funding may be used for administrative costs, including but not limited to, staff salaries, benefits, utilities, and/or building space.
- Applicants may be invited for formal appearance and evaluation to discuss the application with the GRC prior to the recommendation for award. This pre-award meeting will take place at City Hall, several weeks after the application closes.
