The Sunshine Coast Regional Council has announced the applications for its Emergency Grants to support projects that have arisen as a consequence of failure, damage or loss of essential equipment or infrastructure due to unforeseen circumstances.
During a declared Disaster Situation, applicants can apply for other costs (including, but not limited to, operational costs when an organisation demonstrates financial hardship).
Funding must be for projects or costs which are:
deemed to be an ’emergency’ (requiring rapid response).
significantly impacting the organisation’s ability to continue to operate.
Funding Information
Applicants can apply for up to $3000.
Assessment Criteria
Emergency grant applications will be assessed using the following criteria:
failure, damage or loss of essential equipment or infrastructure due to unforeseen circumstances and deemed to be an emergency
significant impact on the organisation’s ability to continue to operate
significant health and safety implications for the organisation’s and/or service users
evidence that the project is not covered by insurance.
During a Declared Disaster Situation the following assessment criteria can apply, subject to available budget:
