If your application is successful, you will receive notification via email.

The agreement may include special conditions that must be met. You can provide information relating to special conditions to the City of Hobart when you return the signed agreement.

Payment of your grant will occur after all paperwork has been processed and all special conditions have been met.

If there are significant changes to the funded activity, applicants must contact the grants officer to confirm the variation is acceptable.

A variation is defined in the grant agreement and includes changes to:

• activity start or end date
• attendance capacity
• venue
• ticket price
• the scale or or number of elements within the activity
• key people delivering the activity, including paid and volunteer positions
• activity budget increase or decrease by 10%.

Variations requests are submitted via SmartyGrants. You will be notified via email from the grants team and SmartyGrants when the form is available.

Request access to variation form

Once submitted, the variation requests are reviewed by relevant City officers. When reviewing this request we will look at a range of factors, including:

• Is the request consistent with the original intent of the project and the grant's guidelines and alignment with the City's strategy?
• Does the request adversely affect the outcomes of the project?
• Is there adequate evidence provided to support the request?

You will be notified via email if the variation is acceptable. The relevant information will be updated against your submission file. This will ensure your acquittal report reflects the change.

Successful applicants must acknowledge the City of Hobart's assistance for their activity.

The Grant Partnership Acknowledgement Guidelines are sent to successful applicants with the grant agreement. You can also download them here: City of Hobart Grant & Partnership Acknowledgment Guidelines(PDF, 1MB)
