Grant Acceptance Requirements

The following criteria will be used to filter ACC grant proposals and applications. If the applications fit these criteria, they will be considered for a grant.

1. ACC will give priority to applications that are held within the Town of Ashland and benefit
Ashland residents.
2. ACC will always look for new applicants and/or for new projects each grant season.
3. The Project should be held at a venue that is easily accessible to the target audience. For instance, an afterschool elementary kids project needs to be easily accessible for the child, transportation cannot become an issue. A senior project needs to be reachable to seniors who cannot drive.
4. A specific date and location is necessary for the project to be considered.
5. The project should be free to the residents of Ashland.
6. A breakdown of expected costs will be required for the application to be considered.

In addition, the following conditions must be met:
