The following guidelines have been established as the grantmaking criteria for disbursing general revenue grants:

• Grants are generally restricted to those organizations and projects which benefit the inhabitants of the Temiskaming and immediate surrounding area.
• Grants should benefit needs and requirements as directly as possible.
• Grants should not be directed to areas where they tend to become absorbed in administrative expenses.
• Grants are directed to needs such as equipment purchases, awareness programs, supplies or services (one-time need).
• Grants to operational expenses are only considered in cases of emergency.
• Grants should benefit the greatest need of citizens as directly as possible, as reflected in the applications being considered at any one time.
• Generally, grants are disbursed to needs not met by other funding sources.
