All Community Funding requests are first assessed on whether they meet certain key priorities; that they are from a not-for-profit organisation or from an individual on behalf of a community, that they will benefit lots of Fareham residents, that they will be able to keep running once the Community Funding award is spent, and that any organisation applying is unable to fund the project from their own reserves. These are called the 'base criteria'.
