Hogansville tables new non-profit funding policy; council wants $25,000 cap reinserted
Summary
Council agreed to move a draft non-profit funding policy to the next work session to allow review and instructed staff to reinsert a $25,000 cap and separate large annual awards from one-time community donations; the policy will be considered at the Nov. 3 meeting.
Council discussed a drafted non-profit funding policy and agreed to table the item to the next work session to allow members more time for review. The policy includes an application deadline of April 1 to align requests with the city's budget process, and council members agreed to reinsert a $25,000 funding cap that had been accidentally removed from the draft.
During discussion members emphasized the need to distinguish between larger annual non-profit funding requests and smaller, one-time donations for community or school initiatives; the group directed staff to update the draft to separate those request types. Council agreed to place the updated policy on the Nov. 3 meeting agenda rather than act during the Oct. 20 work session.
