How have you involved your community?

The more you involve your community the more likely you are to get funding.

Know the people in your community

You know your community better than we do. Tell us what you know. We don't need fancy statistics, just tell us the story of who your project's for.

Understand the needs of your community

Can you explain what the barriers are to people in your community being active? How does your project help? 

It's important you show how your project gives the community what it needs.

We're looking for specific stories about this.

Create the project with your community

The best way to involve the community is to involve them in creating the project itself. 

You're a lot more likely to get funded if you can show how people directly contributed to the project idea.
