5. Community Funding and Support Guidelines Review
In 2019 Council engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers to undertake a review of Council’s funding programs. The review was completed in January 2020 with the introduction of the Community Funding and Support Program in July 2020.
Up until December 7, 2021, Council has distributed over two million ($2,000,000) in funding to over 350 eligible community groups and businesses since the inception of this program.
Since the inception of this program, we have welcomed a new corporate plan, iFuture, a Community Development Strategy, Sustainability Strategy and the Active Ipswich Strategy.
It’s timely then to review the Community Funding and Support Program in line with Council’s endorsed strategies.
We are proposing a workshop to discuss, review and seek feedback on the overall Community Funding and Support Program.
MATTERS ARISING:
The Economic and Community Development Manager to provide information to the Councillors regarding the current guidelines for charity fundraiser events that make a profit and what the processes of other councils are in relation to assessment of applications.
