2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarington have been receiving funding through the
Municipal Grant Program since 1998. In 2007, the organization received a grant
of $2,000.00.
2.2 In the fall of 2007, Big Brothers and Sisters of Cia ring ton went through some
staffing changes and inadvertently missed the Municipal Grant deadline.
2.3 Their 2008 budget, which shows a balanced budget, was approved by the
Brothers and Sisters of Clarington Board of Directors prior to the New Year.
This budget is summarized on Attachment # 1 Summary of Grant Information.
The budget included projected funding from the United Way of Oshawa, Whitby,
Clarington, Brock and Scugog. They have recently been informed that their
United Way funding will not meet their projection and will have to rework their
budget accordingly.
2.4 Staff have reviewed the Municipal Grant application submitted by the Big
Brothers and Sisters of Clarington and concluded that the organization does
meet the criteria of the program.
2.5 Presently the Municipal Grant Program has an unallocated balance of $7,700.00.
