Deadline: 27-Oct-21
The District Municipality of Muskoka is offering 2021 Muskoka Community Grant Program to support the enhancement of community well-being with a focus on improving a positive quality of life for the most vulnerable population.
The District recognizes that one way of helping to achieve this goal is through a few different community grant programs. These programs aim to strengthen and enhance the well-being of the community members who are in need.
Types of Grants
- The Pay it Forward (PIF) Community Investment Grant Program has been available to Grassroots Muskoka Community Groups since 2012 and offers grants of up to $2,500. Grants are awarded to projects that fill a strategic need in the community, enhance community support and leadership, and create positive change.
- The Community Enhancement (CE) Fund is available to Non-Profit Community Organizations. The program will offer grants up to $10,000. Grants will be awarded to groups that address poverty reduction; food security; housing and living conditions; education and training opportunities; volunteer and job development; and citizen engagement.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grassroots Community Groups are made up of individuals within the community who look to encourage other community members to get involved in contributing to the well-being of their community. They are most often not registered as an organization, but rather are a group of people looking to make change within their community from the ground up.
- If you are a non-profit organization, you typically have a registration number associated with your organization.
- If you are a registered charity, you will have a charitable registration number.
