ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The following criteria are used to evaluate
submissions to this Challenge:
• Innovation. We are looking to kickstart
smart ideas—initiatives that are clever, bold,
timely and unique. Use your imagination!
Think outside the box.
• Transformative. The proposals we seek will
markedly alter the nature, function, form and
condition of community sport development
and citizens’ participation in it.
• Grassroots sport involvement. We want to
see you build capacity within your local sport
community. Are you plugged in to that
community? If not, can you find a partner
that is?
• Engagement. Your project should promise
to engage significantly more people
(especially children and youth) more often in
being physically active in sport.
• Sustainability. We gravitate to projects that
do not require substantial start-up staffing or
related administrative costs.
• Equity. We are seeking proposals that cater
to everyone, including those less likely to
participate. Will your project be fair,
accessible and inclusive?
• Values based. We are impressed by
initiatives that directly and enticingly
promote the positive values of sport
development, especially involving our
children and youth.
• Portability. We are keen to invest in
initiatives that promise to be portable, so
that other neighbourhoods and communities
can also benefit.
• Scalability. Is your idea expandable, so it
can be upscaled or transformed over time?
We want ideas that have the potential to go
from good to great.
• Capacity to complete. We want to engage
with those who truly have the capacity and
capability of successfully completing their
project and achieving anticipated results
within the established timelines.
• Financial investment. Your stake in the
project should include some level of financial
and/or resourcing investment.
• Creative partners. Who have you
recruited to bring a unique, innovative
perspective to your project team? Social
entrepreneurs? Corporate movers and
shakers? Changemakers?
• Ready to Roll! You must be able to
implement your project within 12 months of
receiving funding.
