- The proposed program or service will not directly or unreasonably compete with existing private businesses in Avon.
- The applicant demonstrates a need for financial assistance.
- Applications that request one-time funding to provide a new or expanded program or service will be evaluated on the level of matching funds from other sources and on the likelihood of success of the new or expanded program.
- The applicant demonstrates broad community financial partnerships. (Applications which demonstrate broad community partnerships and funding contributions from multiple sources will be viewed favorably. Applications which involve services or programs that serve a region greater that the Town of Avon should include financial contributions from other communities and neighborhoods.)

- The application requests financial support that is proportionate to the expected benefits for the Avon community.
- The applicant has a capable organizational structure to provide the stated programs or services and to comply with grant reporting requirements (consideration will be given to the length of time for the organization and staffing resources)
