Success By 6® Grants – 2009

Sunshine Coast Success By 6® Grants 2009

The Sunshine Coast Early Childhood Development Planning Table is inviting applications for grants from the Success By 6® funds.

The Success By 6® funds are divided into two streams, in order to best serve our early years community by helping to support successful established programs, as well as by encouraging the development of new projects.

The two streams, “Community Program Grants” and “Family Friendly Grants”, are described in detail and accessed below.

2009 is to be considered a trial year for this 2-Stream model.

*YOU MAY ONLY APPLY TO ONE OF THESE GRANT STREAMS. Select the one that matches your project best.

Stream #1
Community Program Grants

The purpose of the “COMMUNITY PROGRAM” Grant is to provide financial support for tried, tested and true programs and projects that benefit young children and their families on the Sunshine Coast.

The Community Program Grants are intended to go toward continuing the established, proven community programs. Such programs have successfully managed allocations historically and reported highly positive results and feedback from families. Outcomes demonstrate that the ECD Strategic Plan is supported and advanced by these programs.

Project applicants to this grant stream must state how the new funds will enhance, improve or build on existing success, AND how it fits local Strategic Plan priorities.

This year, a one year commitment will be made for “Community Program” grants. Should stated outcomes be met and reporting satisfactorily completed in 2009, a decision will be made in 2010 regarding a longer-term commitment of funds in this stream. A two or three year commitment for “Community Program” grant recipients will be considered. By committing funds for a 2 or 3 year period for these established projects, the intention would be to support their increased sustainability.

Grantees must meet eligibility requirements and selection criteria. Grantees will complete annual reports (due February 28, 2010).

We welcome collaborative proposals and strongly recommend partnering with others who could contribute to the impact of the program.
