Clear guidelines

The local government should make sure all promotional materials and application forms are easy to understand and provide all the necessary information in a clear and concise manner.

The use of template application forms and contact points for community organisations to call for more information can provide invaluable assistance to smaller community organisations and organisations that have not applied for grants in the past. The use of brochures that are colourful, easy to read and very clearly document the types of grants available, how to apply and where to get more information can also be very helpful.
