agency status
2. A primary base of operations and service provision in the greater Lake Region community
3. A proven history of providing value to the local community, especially for families of low to moderate income
4. Organizational sustainability
5. The ability to leverage other funding and/or voluntary support
6. The ability to provide the most value with the requested funding
7. Cooperation or collaboration with other organizations for greater impact
8. Beneficial usage of previous funding previously supplied by the GCC

4. To support academic research
5. To organizations that have substantial financial resources that would otherwise allow them to fund what is proposed in their grant request
