More information regarding the 2024 Community Grant Program, coming soon.

Next Steps

The Community Grant Committee (4 members of Council), will meet in the coming weeks to review the combined confidential scoring of all applications and recommend recipients to Council at an upcoming Council meeting (date to be determined).

What applicants need to know:
  • The application process is a competitive process.

  • There are more grant applications received than available funding.

  • Past funding commitments should not be interpreted as a guarantee that future funding requests will be approved.

  • Preference is given to new initiatives, but a promising program may receive in its infancy a grant for more than one year if the program is developing successfully and is self-sustaining in the future.

  • An established program may receive a grant when it faces a new opportunity for expansion or has encountered unexpected challenges. ​
