Community
Funds for Final Phase - Visioning & Customized Work
Each
community has a budget of UP TO $4000 to utilize for
expenditures that meet the purpose of the grant in this
final phase. These dollars are to be used to reduce
barriers for your community work on leadership and poverty.
A grid is linked
here to assist with expenditures that a community may
have questions about. Various
expense items for communities participating in the Horizons program
can be found here. Please contact one of the staff
working with the Horizons program if there is something
needed that is not listed on the website or the list.
Travel
for Communities in Final Phase
A number
of regional events will be held sponsored by ND Horizons
throughout this final phase. Communities are invited and
certainly encouraged to attend as they see fit - especially if
the program fits part of their vision and community plan.
Travel, lodging and per diem (meals when traveling) to attend
regional activities/events will come out of each respective
community's budget for this section so please plan accordingly.
ND Horizons will cover the meeting costs when there (food,
registration, materials, etc), but each community will be
responsible for their travel costs.
Questions to Ask Yourself when Considering Activities / Events
to Spend Community Funds On
-
Does this affect the entire community or just 1 -2 people?
- Is
this a part of the community's vision?
- How
does this relate to leadership development (community wide)
OR poverty reduction (community wide)?
- How
does this relate to community development?
- Is
this something that has been ongoing for sometime and funds
are needed to keep it going OR is it something new and
expanded meeting a broader audience - (preferred)?
- If
only 1-2 people attend this session with the hopes of
bringing their newfound knowledge back to the community at
large, how will this be done?
