Criteria and scoring for applications
The table below sets out the criteria and associated scoring that will be used for comparative assessment of applications for grants. This is provided to assist applicants in setting out their grant applications. Applicants are not expected to score themselves against the criteria; this will be done independently once the applications have been received. Applicants will be advised of the outcome of their grant applications in June 2024.

We will operate an internal review process and will accept a request for a review of any decision. Any such request must be made in writing or email to us and should state the reasons why the applicant is aggrieved with the decision by TMBC. A request for review will be considered by a senior officer and the applicant informed of the final decision. The decision by us on any eligibility matter will be final.
