Having requested a City of Oshawa Community Grant, and/or in-kind services, the Organization agrees to the following conditions if a grant and/or in-kind services in any amount is awarded:

1. The Organization confirms that the representations contained in the City of Oshawa Grant application for assistance are true and correct in every respect and that in the event that the funds are not used for the project or programs as described in the City of Oshawa Grant application, or if there are misrepresentations in the City of Oshawa Grant application, the full amount of the funds provided will be returned to the City.
2. If there are any changes in the funding of the project from that contemplated in the application, the City will be notified of such changes, in writing to [email protected] to allow the City to verify that the event/program still aligns with the category of grant approved. If the City finds that the event/program no longer fits the grants category, the City can rescind the grant approval and require that the funds be returned to the City.
3. That the Organization will keep proper accounting of all receipts and expenditures, relating to the program, services or project.
4. That the Organization will retain and make available for inspection by the City or its auditors all records and accounting of the Organization upon request from the City which may be made within 2 years of the grant award.
5. That if the programs or services proposed in the Organization’s application are not commenced, or are not completed and there remain City funds on hand, or are completed without requiring the full use of the City funds, the balance of remaining City funds will be returned to the City.
6. That the program or services not be represented as a City program or service, and that the Organization does not have the authority to hold itself out as an agency of the City in any way, the only relationship being that the City has approved and granted financial assistance to the Organization.
7. Should the Organization receive a grant or in-kind service for a special event, the Organization must enter into an agreement with the Event and Community Engagement Supervisor.
8. That the organization will provide a written report on the event and the funds utilized within 3 months following the event, programming or service delivery.
