We value the contributions that groups, agencies and volunteers make to improve our community. To show our appreciation, we give out municipal grants each year that help support the efforts of our community organizations. The total amount of grant money available is set annually in the municipal budget.

You can apply by completing the municipal grant funding application and sending it to the Treasurer. 

Eligibility

We give preference to organizations that demonstrate community support, efficient use of resources, sound business practices and develop volunteer knowledge and skills. For a full list of eligibility requirements, types of grants and the decision-making process, please review the Grant Funding Policy.

Types of grants

We award the following different types of grants.

Corporate grants

Are defined as operating funding to assist with the general operating expenses of the group, including administrative costs and program-related expenses.

In-kind contributions

Are based on the provision of municipal property/facilities, materials or resources to an applicant, and do not include the provision of cash funds to, or on behalf of, the applicant. While cash funds are not provided in relation to In-Kind grants, it is recognized that such grants will involve either an expense or foregone revenue for the municipality. Each application for In-Kind grants will include the estimated value of the application under consideration.

Special event grants

Are defined as any one-time or first-time event that is of cultural, social or recreational significance to the community and which may have the participation of more than one organization.

Community event grants

Is defined as a recurring event that Council has determined provides some significant benefit to the broad community and is open to all members of the public.

Sponsorship grants

requests are based on an external organization, enterprise or association requesting financial assistance, whereby the Town contributes money, goods or services to a program, project or special event in return for recognition and acknowledgement of receiving funding from the Town. Organizations are required to report on how money was used including producing invoices and proof of payment for goods and services at year end.
