Deadline: 31-Oct-22
The Township of North Glengarry is seeking applications for its Community Grant Program to promote a varied and rich quality of life for all its residents and visitors.
The Community Grant Policy has been created to provide limited financial assistance to community groups and not-for-profit organizations within the Township to assist with various activities. This support is in recognition of the value of these groups to the well being and growth of the community and is to help the municipality retain a strong community focus.
Priorities for Funding
- Arts, Culture and Heritage projects or events
- Community Beautification projects or events
- Special Events
- Tourism Development projects or events
- Historical Plaques
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be non-profit community groups and organizations whose primary focus is within North Glengarry;
- Grants are intended to be supplementary to an organization’s main sources of funding. The grant shall not be considered as the primary source of funding for the organization. The organization must show exploration of other financial and in-kind support (i.e.: fund-raising and volunteer support);
- All funding shall be for future projects. Retroactive funding will not be considered;
- Repeat grants will only be available to organizations who have complied with the reporting requirements of any previous grants;
- Repeat grant applications must show how their event/activity differs from their previous application(s) and new events may be prioritized over returning events;
- Guaranteed funding is only for the fiscal year in which the organization has applied. It is not to be regarded as a commitment by the Municipality to continue such assistance in future years;
- Funding requests may be reduced in value at the discretion of the Committee to support a wider range of projects;
- No financial grants will be considered unless specifically authorized by this policy. In according grants, the Municipality may impose, at its sole and unique discretion, the conditions it deems fit.
Exclusions
- Individuals, businesses, publicly-funded institutions (i.e.: schools, hospitals, etc.) and non-profit organizations that are predominantly funded by the government through tax dollars are not eligible to apply for the Community Grant Program;
- Organizations that may be located within the Township of North Glengarry, but are more regionallyoriented, or that represent or service a special interest group shall not be considered for a municipal grant under the Community Grant Program;
- Unless special circumstances warrant, consideration will not be given to requests for grants from recreational sports groups, nor will funds be used to sponsor an individual athlete or team for a competition, or to subsidize participation in a sports event. Recreation in North Glengarry is managed by Recreation Associations and have separate funding mechanisms, not related to this policy.
