Please note: The Community Impact Fund will accept applications that clearly demonstrate the impact projects will have on bridging the cost-of-living gap for the benefit of the local community or residents within the Dover District. The grant must be used to pay for future clearly defined costs associated with projects that can demonstrate a clear impact on cost of living. Applicants are expected to provide accurate costs (to the penny) within the costs section. DDC reserves the right to request evidence to support the accuracy of the project costs outlined in your application to ensure the project meets the eligibility criteria.
