City Council Policy: Nonprofit and Outside Agency Funding Requests that Occur Separate from the Budget Process (Proposed amendments –Councilor Galvin 1/16/18) There are two types of requests that usually come before Council during the year. The first is specific to special events and festivals generally. The second type of request is defined as more policy driven and reflects those requests that align directly w ith the priorities set by City Council. A. Donations to Special Events, One Time Programs, Festivals (Funding to not exceed $2,000-change to $25 ,000 ) These requests are characterized as smaller requests for special events, summits and symposiums, prog rams and/or festivals. The event, program or festival must occur in the City or demonstrate that City residents are attending and/or will be served. Depending on the type and nature of the request, for instance if it’s a festival or event that may bring in tourists and outside visitors, the Charlottesville/Albemarle Convention and Visitor’s Bureau may be asked to assist in the review of the funding request. B. Policy Driven Issues Aligned with City Council Vision 2025 and Strategic Plan (Funding to not exceed $10,000-change to $50,000 ) These requests must serve City residents and be aligned directly with one or more areas of City Council’s Vision 2025.
