COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM / GRANT-IN-AID

Policy Approved: Council Meeting No. 1176
March 20, 2007

The following provides the criteria and process for application to the Community Enhancement Program (CEP) also known as Grant-in-Aid (GIA).

PRIORITIES

The funds available for grants are limited and may not be sufficient to fund all requests for grants made in any one year. Grants will be awarded at Council's discretion and will be authorized by Council resolution.

As such, Council has established the following priorities:

  • non-profit groups and/or activities which either promote the Village of Pemberton; or
  • benefit a large number of Pemberton residents; or
  • involve participation of a large number of Pemberton residents; or
  • others as authorized by statute.

Applications or events that have secured additional funding through fundraising or own initiative will be given priority.

As a Joint Grant in Aid Program (GIA) is being implemented by the Village of Pemberton and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD), applicants who apply and receive funding from the Village of Pemberton's CEP program, will not be eligible to receive funding from the Joint GIA program in the same calendar year.

APPLICATION PROCESS

  1. All applications should completed using an application form.
  2. All applications should be accompanied by a copy of your organization's current year's budget and/or event budget that includes revenues and expenses and discloses how the grant will be spent.
  3. Applications will be received on a continuous basis. Applicants are advised that grants may not be available from year to year and new applications must be made each year.
  4. The annual budget approval is not considered as a grant-in-aid approval.
