Deadline: 5-Oct-22
Kneehill County is inviting applications for its Community Grants to Non-Profit Organizations.
Kneehill County recognizes that volunteer community associations are vital to the health, well-being, and social development of the community.
Each year Kneehill County Council allocates a predetermined amount of money towards project based initiatives and non-operational expenditures through a grant process that responds to community need and are community driven.
Funding under this policy is a one-time interim measure and is not to be relied on as a continuing source of revenue. Council fully expects community organizations to be self-sustaining and to develop working relationships with other contributing partners.
