My proposal involves a mix of private and public benefits – is it eligible for consideration?
We understand that some proposals will contain a mix of private and public benefit. We will focus on the extent to which public benefit exceeds private benefit in determining the eligibility and merit of your proposal. We will also consider the nature of the activities proposed, for example the extent of broader public benefits from a pilot or demonstration project, and whether private contributions are commensurate with the private benefits. In general, we expect public benefits of Caring for our Country investment to significantly exceed any private benefit.
