Serves Peaks Island, community members;
Impacts Peaks Island residents directly within the next year;
Has potential for continuing impact on the community;
Includes clear financial documentation (purchases of equipment or services must include estimates provided by external contractors). Please Note: Many of the projects they have funded in the past have involved contractors or service people visiting a site in person to make an estimate. Recognizing that this arrangement is now challenging due to COVID-19, they have changed the application requirements to allow for contract work estimates to be approximate rather than exact and to be done by email, with an added verbal explanation of how the contractor or service provider arrived at the estimate.
