The HRM Community Facility Partnership Fund is a centralized program that provides funding to community non-profit groups and public institutions in support of major capital initiatives undertaken as part of a formal partnership agreement.
Applications are evaluated and priorized by an inter-disciplinary staff review team who assess the respective merit of a project relative to council’s strategic objectives and make recommendations regarding any award(s).
The HRM Grants Committee provides oversight in terms of monitoring adherence to formal policies and procedures. The decision-making authority of Regional Council determines the program’s annual budget allocation and the individual recipient(s).
It should be noted that if there are no proposals of sufficient merit, the program’s budget allocation, or the balance thereof, shall be placed in a designated reserve and carried forward.
The HRM Community Facility Partnership Fund has four primary goals:
- To facilitate collaborative partnerships that realize measurable outcomes commensurate with HRM’s mandate and/or strategic priorities.
- To facilitate the development of significant community infrastructure in order to realize tangible cultural, sectoral and economic impacts on a national, provincial, regional, or sectoral scale.
- To foster and promote a legacy that provides long-term public benefit. New community facilities assisted under this program will have significant impact primarily on a regional scale and HRM’s contribution helps leverage funding, notably from the private sector.
The following policies and procedures outline the programs’ eligibility criteria, evaluation and decision-making processes. The policy also contains guidance on the roles and responsibilities of applicants, HRM staff, and elected officials.
