Program principles

The following principles guide Council’s overall approach to provision of grants in scope with the Community Grants Policy.

  • Responsive to needs

    Our grants link to strategic priorities and identified community needs, seeking to financially assist those in the Maroondah community who will benefit most.

  • Equitable and inclusive

    We strive to ensure high levels of community awareness, ease of participation, and access to available financial support by all in the Maroondah community.

  • Efficient and effective

    Our grants are offered, measured, communicated and celebrated in a manner that seeks to maximise value to the Maroondah community.

  • Responsibly managed

    Our grants are well-designed and well-managed in ways that are best-fit for purpose and ensure accountable, efficient and justifiable use of available financial support.
