Dufferin County is seeking applications for its Community Grant Program. In 2018, the County of Dufferin agreed with Headwaters Communities in Action (HCIA) to administer the Community Grant program.

The Community Grants program supports not for profit or charitable organizations to complete a project or provide programming that benefits the residents of Dufferin County, and which serves one or more of the County’s priority areas. The amount of funds available varies each year depending on the budget.
