In making grants available to community organizations, the City Council adheres to the following policy:
1. Grant awards are made only for purposes which are legal.
2. Grant funds are to primarily benefit South San Francisco residents/taxpayers.
3. One-time grants for capital items, or seed money, for new or expanded services are preferred to continuing grants for operations or unrestricted funding.
4. Recipients are asked to provide financial and performance accountability.
5. Requests for funds must be received in a timely fashion. The application period commences on the first Monday in January and closes on the last Friday in January of each year. Applications received beyond established deadline dates will not be considered.
6. Preference will be given to requests which are of a matching nature.
7. Other sources of available funds should have been diligently sought or are generally unavailable in the amounts needed.
