All applications will be checked to ensure that all questions have been answered and that all required supporting documents have been included.
In the event that the application does not include the required supporting documents, a response to any of the questions, or a detailed reason as to why a response cannot be given, the Council may judge the group / organisation to be ineligible for the Tutbury Community Grant Scheme.
To evaluate applications the following areas will be assessed and scored against this assessment framework. Questions will be given marks of 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest mark and 10 is the highest mark. What constitutes the lowest, middle and highest marks is described below.
Each area carries a weighting, which contributes towards the application’s final score. For example, if an area carries 20% of the total application score, a mark of 10 out of 10 for this would contribute 20% to the applications final score, where as a mark of 5 out of 10 would contribute 10% of the applications final score.
