National Organisations National organisations are strongly encouraged to show evidence of partnerships and support and to demonstrate sustainability of the program delivery in Tasmania. Similar Projects/Organisations The encourages applicants to research other providers of similar projects in Tasmania and to provide a response that is reflective of the findings of this research. Piloted or Previously Run Projects If a project/program has been piloted in the past or has been run in the past, the encourages applicants to demonstrate the successful outcomes from the past, provide details of how the project was previously funded and explain why that funding source is no longer available. If considering implementing a pilot project, the Board encourages applicants to provide evidence to inform the methodology that the applicant plans to implement. Presentation Slides If providing a presentation, the Board notes that it is very difficult to provide more than 10 slides effectively in the time allowed. Application Review The Board encourages all applicants to have an external person review the application as a final proof-read and to ensure that the application contains sufficient detail to inform the Board of the project outcomes, methodology and beneficiaries. Changing an Application Applications cannot be amended once the closing date and time has passed. However, if applicants notice an error prior to the deadline they can contact TCF staff who can reopen the application. It is the applicants responsibility to ensure that their application is resubmitted by the closing date and time. Incomplete applications The Board is unlikely to support applications which do not supply the requested information, or present it in a format which makes it difficult to assess. Requests for $300 000 or more The advises that to receive Tasmanian Community Fund support of $300 000 or more the Board expects to find broad community support and involvement (beyond the applicant), outcomes and additional support (in-kind/financial) from other organisations within the application. More Appropriate for Other Bodies to Fund The advises that it is highly unlikely that the Tasmanian Community Fund will support projects which are assessed as more appropriately the responsibility of other bodies, including Australian, State or local governments. Unrealistic projects
