IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PROPOSALS

The deadline for submitting this form is Sunday 16 October 2016, 11pm.

We will accept hand delivered and hand written applications however where possible, please provide an electronic copy

Funding awarded by the Positive Ageing Council Steering Group is subject to formal approval by the Cultural Development Service Manager and other senior council management.

Please note it is expected that the number of applications will be far greater than the total amount of funding available, so many organisations will be unsuccessful. We would like to assure you that if you are unsuccessful this in no way reflects on the Positive Ageing Councils opinion of your organisation, or their desire to work with you to help your club develop in the future.

If funding is approved, organisations will be sent a confirmation letter outlining the terms of the funding agreement. Payment will only be made once this and any required supplementary documents are returned.

Funded organisations must ensure that:

  1. A bank account is in operation into which payment can be made – this should be the bank account associated with the organisation, not a personal account.
  1. The terms of reference are filled in completely and in full.
  1. All legal and insurance liabilities associated with the application are fulfilled.
  1. A completed monitoring form with appropriate information such as proof of purchase, copies of invoices etc. is provided no later than 3 months after the funding is paid to the organisation. Failure to provide this will result in that organisation being ineligible for future Positive Ageing Council funding.
  1. All financial evidence, including receipts, is kept for at least two years after submission of monitoring information.
  1. The organisation is available to return to a future Positive Ageing Councilpublic or steering group meeting to provide feedback on the impact of receiving funding, if requested.

Should an organisation have any concerns or questions about the above requirements they should contact the Positive Ageing Council Co-ordinator:
