The Community Board has the option to collaborate with other Boards in the joint funding of major projects.

A “guarantee against loss” may be offered to support an event that may require either seeding or back up finance – this is to give you confidence that funds up to the value offered will be available following the event if it runs at a loss. If successful, applicants will be required to use the Community Board logo on advertising material and other items associated with the event or project to acknowledge the grant made. A declaration of expenditure and project report is required once the project has been completed. Funds not uplifted within six months from allocation date will lapse. 2.1.
