Glossary

A building / facility run by a Jewish community organisation where members of the community may gather for group activities, education sessions, social support, and other purposes. The locations may or may not be open to broader groups of people.

Jewish community facilities eligible to apply include synagogues, Chabad houses, community centres and halls and hubs, youth centres and camp facilities, sports facilities, museums, theatres and galleries.

This is only the funding $ that you are applying for and that JCSIP may provide.

An organisation that is owned and managed by a Jewish faith, or language or cultural community which services Jewish community member needs, customs and traditions. The organisation will exist to support people from Jewish cultural, language and faith groups.

Clearly explaining your “need” or problem provides the assessor with the rationale for funding.

Your explanation should be objective and supported by data and/or other relevant resources that help to substantiate the need to fund the solution to your organisation’s concern.

Remember that assessors are reviewing competitive applications which are all from Jewish community organisations so take the opportunity in the application form to explain why your facility is different and make the case for your organisation’s relative need for funding.

This means both the Planning Permit and the Endorsed Plans. A Planning Permit alone is not a full Planning Approval.

Physical infrastructure which is intended to reduce the risk of crime and violence against both the building and its immediate surrounds and the community members using the building and its immediate surrounds.

Activities related to security infrastructure but undertaken by services contractors such as security related design or planning or security threat assessments which relate to a specific building and its immediate surrounds.

An organisation:
• being led by an economic, social, cultural or environmental mission that is consistent with a public or community benefit.
• deriving most of its income from trade.
• reinvesting most of its profit or surplus in fulfilling its mission (at least 50 per cent).

A threat assessment is a physical security evaluation usually carried out by a security expert. It is an inspection of your facility / building to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in its physical security.

Threat assessments also involve discussing perceived/actual threats to you and your property to determine what you need to protect against. Examples of physical threats to buildings and their occupants include forced entry, burglary, vandalism, rioting and looting, threatening or abusive individuals, individuals with weapons.

A threat assessment will likely also point out what needs to be protected from these specific threats. This may include people, artefacts, equipment, documents and anything else inside your building that could be put at risk by security threats.

Declaring the Total Project Cost is important as the department must be able to understand if the security related project to be funded by JCSIP is only part of a bigger project for which your organisation must be able to show it has the required funds.

For example, are the secure doors and windows in the JCSIP security project only part of a much bigger building extension project.

Total Project Cost = both the Grant Amount Requested to pay only for the windows and doors + All Other Project Contractors Costs to build and fit-out the complete extension.
