Separate from the Regional Grant-in-Aid program, each year the 10 TNRD Electoral Areas are provided a budget for local community grants. These grants are intended to provide community benefit, but are more limited in scope than the Regional Grant-in-Aid program. Given the much more localized benefits, funds for these grants are drawn from local property taxes of each Electoral Area and the budget for each are accounted for separately.
Decisions about award of these grants can be made by each individual Electoral Area Director, within the confines of the Electoral Area Grant-in-Aid Policy and legislative requirements.
Applications for Electoral Area Grant-in-Aid funds may be made at any time.
