Factors considered when
evaluating the grant requests
include: the requesting orga-
nization9s history of success;
the organizational and finan-
cial stability of the group; the
number and types of commu-
nity members served; and the
ability to measure and track
the effectiveness of the proj-
ect or service.
Each year, when the City9s
annual budget is determined,
the City Budget Committee
sets an amount targeted for
community assistance grants.
The City Council approves
the budget. The amount
available for grant awards is
contingent on the Council9s
approval of the budget and
appropriation of funds for
community grants.
Upon completion of an
organization9s project or fis-
cal year, a letter must be
sent to the City of Sisters
detailing how the funds were
used.
