- Groups may apply for grant funding of up to 50 per cent of the proposed project’s total cost to a maximum of $4,000 per year, per project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Community Beautification submissions will only be accepted from a lead organization which is a legally-recognized, formally-established representative community group within the municipal jurisdiction of Haldimand County (e.g. Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, BIA, Service Club, etc.) or combination thereof with appropriate partners (e.g. local horticultural society). No private company or individual shall be eligible.
- The lead organization must provide a Certificate of Insurance with a minimum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) in liability insurance with Haldimand County named as “additional insured”. The lead organization must also have a bank account(s) to facilitate financial administration of the project and provide proof of insurance and WSIB participation from any contractors employed to complete work related to the proposed project.
- Eligible groups may submit more than one Community Beautification application in a given year, if more than one beautification-related project is planned by the group in that year. Groups submitting more than one Community Beautification application are asked to ‘rank’ the applications according to priority.
