All grants will be scored in the same way, based on the Council’s priorities. Every eligible application will be scored against the following measures. The scope and level of detail expected will be determined by the size of the grant sought.
Reducing inequalities in the city - score up to 60%
The key purpose of the Oxford Community Impact Fund is to help reduce inequalities in the city. Please give details about which inequalities you will focus on (e.g protected characteristics, environmental, health, socio-economic inequalities). Please include how you have assessed the needs, how you will involve the people that your project will impact and what actions you will take.
Evidence of providing cash match funding of at least 70% - score up to 40%
We are looking to support organisations who will bring in additional funding to the city and use our grant to generate/earn additional income. Applications that attract larger levels of funding will score more highly. Please explain what additional funding/income your work or activity will generate.
A uniform approach to scoring across the board
Each scoring question will be marked out of 10 (before applying the relevant weighting) on the basis that your answer matches criteria in the following way:
- 0 - Will not deliver / meet the criteria at all
- 2 - Unclear if the criteria will be delivered / met or not
- 4 - Will deliver / meet the criteria partially
- 6 - Will deliver / meet the criteria fully
- 8 - Exceeds the criteria
- 10 - Will deliver / meet the criteria in an exceptional way
