Guidelines
The Grant Committee will use the following review guidelines to evaluate eligible applications and provide funding recommendations:
- The application proposes a program or service that supports arts, culture, education, environment, health, heritage, housing, human services, or recreation in the Town of Avon. Funding will be prioritized for organizations providing services in the areas of housing, food insecurity and childcare, which have been identified as the top three challenges facing the Avon and Eagle County communities.
- The proposed program or service meets a need in the Avon community that is not met by other existing organizations, by the Town of Avon, or by other local, state, or federal governments.
- 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 than the Town of Avon should include financial contributions from other communities and neighborhoods.)
- The application proposes clearly defined goals and outcomes which can be measured, including evaluation of benefits to Avon community (e.g., number of Avon residents served).
- The application requests financial support that is proportionate to the expected benefits for the Avon community.
