The Township facilities are operated with varying degrees of subsidy from the property tax base. As such, most rental fees do not cover the total cost associated with facility usage when viewed over an entire fiscal year. The Township also tracks revenues and expenses associated with each facility independently, so the level of subsidy is clearly applied. As such, facility rental rates cannot be waived and/or reduced for facility users.
Not-for-profit organizations seeking a sponsorship equivalent to the rental fee for a Township Facility must meet the eligibility criteria and submit an application.
Organizations should keep in mind that Township facility rates are already subsidized by property taxation. Event organizers are encouraged to seek other funding sources, such as event sponsors to ensure all event costs can be covered, including Township facility usage fees.
