Deadline: 30-Sep-2025
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield is offering an inviting chance for local community groups, charities, and non-profits to bring their creative projects to life through its Community Grant Program.
With funding allocated semi-annually—typically reaching up to $12,000 per cycle—the program offers grants ranging from $250 to $1,000, depending on the project’s scope and impact.
As a community-driven initiative, the funding is strictly reserved for projects taking place within Grand Bay-Westfield. Only works that offer meaningful benefit to local residents or address the needs of specific groups within the town are considered. The program prioritizes fresh ideas that enrich community life without duplicating existing services, and expects the resulting goods or services to remain accessible within municipal boundaries.
To be eligible, applicants must be active, non-profit or charitable organizations operating within the town’s limits. The application process is straightforward: submit a completed form by April 30 or September 30 (or the next business day if those dates fall on a weekend or holiday) to the Town Office. Proposals are reviewed by town administrators and the Community Grant Committee before final approval by Town Council.
Recipients of funding must responsibly manage the grant, keeping solid financial records and submitting a final report within a year. Unused funds must be returned, and all necessary licenses or permits must be secured in advance. Successful applicants are also expected to acknowledge the town’s support in any project materials and demonstrate alignment with local values—projects must be inclusive and respectful.
Through this program, Grand Bay-Westfield is empowering community groups to enhance local services, culture, and wellbeing. For those with ideas that can uplift community life, this grant provides a valuable springboard—ready to make a tangible difference where it matters most.
