Funding streams are now based on the categories below (rather than two funding streams based on amount requested):
Multi-Year Operating Grant (up to four (4) years)
An Operating Grant is a multi‐year (up to four years) provision of funds to assist with a group’s general operating expenses such as facility development, administrative costs or program‐related expenses. Operating Grants provide on‐going funding for continuing organizations that Council determines provide benefit to the community.
Grant-in-Aid
Grants-in-aid are one-time funding for a specific program, capital project, and/or short-term undertaking with a completion date or an event with a start and finish date (may be an annual event). Programs or events must be within City boundaries, on legally controlled lands, be open to the public or specified group, and have reasonable price of admission.
Letter of Support for (other) Grant Applications
Community Groups and Registered Organizations may request letters of support from the City of Rossland Council to aid in external grant or sponsorship applications. Letters of support shall be approved by Council resolution.
