The total amount of grant money available is set annually in the municipal budget.

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

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

Corporate grants are for operational funding and assist with administrative costs and program-related expenses.

In-kind contributions

In-kind contribution grants refer to providing the use of municipal facilities, properties or resources to applicants, free of charge or at a discounted rate. This is not a monetary grant.

Special event grants

Special event grants are for one-time or first-time events that contribute to the cultural, social or recreational significance of the community. More than one community organization must participate in the event to qualify for the grant.

Community event grants

Community events are recurring events that council has determined contribute to the culture of the community. In order for an event to qualify it must be open to all members of the public.

Sponsorship grants
