Awareness

One of the principal ingredients of a successful community grants scheme is a high level of interest from prospective community organisations. To make sure community organisations are aware of the local government's grants program, it is recommended that information on the program is at least promoted in local newspapers. The local government must make the policy available for inspection by the public at the local government office and on the council's website.

Where practical, the local government should also nominate a contact point where community organisations can obtain further information about the grants program.
