Applicants should note that the following key principles apply to the Mid Suffolk Grant Aid Programme:

• Applications for grants will only be considered from Voluntary or Community Organisations which:-
• •  Provide a service for the benefit of Mid Suffolk people
  •  Are an area registered charity or have an agreed constitution, and is capable of obtaining from its own funds or other sources, the balance of the costs
  • Are financially viable, as evidenced by audited or independently examined accounts
  • Have, or are intending to introduce, equal opportunities policies for employees and volunteers
  • Provides services which accord with the Council's own priorities do not duplicate services already being provided/grant aided, and that will meet proven identified needs. In the case of 'start up' initiatives, evidence of the need for the new service to be supported will have to be substantiated and reflect community demand
  • Have, or are intending to introduce, systems for monitoring and evaluating activities and outcomes of the services to be funded.
