Applications are now open for Community Grant Program to provide annual operating and project grants to Mississauga-based, not-for-profit community groups to deliver programs and services that keep Mississauga residents active, healthy and engaged in their communities.
The program aligns with the strategic priorities of the Recreation Division and Parks, Forestry and Environment Division including the Recreation Master Plan, Older Adult Plan for Recreation, Youth Plan for Recreation, Parks and Forestry Master Plan, Climate Change Action Plan, and contributes to advancing the City’s strategic priorities; Move, Belong, Connect, Prosper and Green.
Funding Information
- Annual Community Grants provide up to $10,000 to support operating or program-related expenses for organizations and initiatives that extend the variety and choice of community programs and services for Mississauga residents and can be delivered successfully within the scope of one calendar year.
- Multi-Year Community Grants contribute to the sustainability of organizations by providing support for core operating expenses. They are available by invitation only. Organizations invited to apply for a multi-year grant must demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) from previous grants and provide clearly defined and quantifiable organizational targets and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for their proposed multi-year grant.

-
To be eligible for a City of Mississauga Community Grant, organizations are required to:

- Provide and/or support recreation and sport, or parks, forestry and environment activities and programs.
