Minutes:

Submitted – a report by the Treasurer in respect of grant applications received for Larger Grants.

 

The Treasurer reported that at its meeting held on 7th November, 2017 the Investment and Contracts Committee resolved to recommend a budget of £350k for the 2018/19 Large Grants.  This budget was approved by the full Isle of Anglesey Charitable Trust at its meeting held on 24th January, 2018.  The application process was launched in December 2017 through the Council’s website and social media.  Adverts have also appeared in the local newspapers with the closing date for applications of the 31 January, 2018.  Applications were invited for funding in excess of £8,000 to assist with large capital projects or revenue to fund specific services that will benefit the people of Anglesey. Applications must meet one of the following criteria:

 

·      Assistance to disadvantaged groups;

·      Regeneration of the local economy;

·      Improvement of skills;

·      Reduction of poverty;

·      Protection of heritage;

·      Protection of the environment;

·      Participation in activities relating to sport, health and the community good;

·      Development of community spirit and well-being.

 

It was decided at the Charitable Trust Meeting held on 12 December 2017 that whilst organisations who had received funding from the Large Grants within the previous five years would not be excluded from applying, those organisations would only be considered once all other applications had been considered and if funding was still available.

 

The Treasurer reported that 34 applications had been received by the closing date.  Details of the applications received were attached as Appendix A to the report.  In order to assist the Committee to consider the applications, Officers had pre-scored the applications against a set of criteria which had been used previously to assess the applications.

 

The Committee received background details of the applications by the Officers and following deliberations it was RESOLVED : -

 

·      That 15 applications be considered at a special meeting of this Committee;

·      That 1 application be advised to submit their application to the small grants funding of the Charitable Trust.
