A funding opportunity is available to support high-impact projects that contribute to the well-being, resilience, and growth of communities. This grant is designed to assist nonprofit organizations that are leading initiatives with the potential to generate meaningful and lasting change in the lives of local residents. Funding is intended to support innovative ideas, expand access to essential services, and foster community development in a broad range of areas.
This opportunity is open to registered nonprofit organizations. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible to apply. Eligible projects should directly serve communities within a defined region of Ontario, with a particular focus on initiatives that benefit underserved populations, improve quality of life, or support environmental, educational, cultural, or social advancement.
Funding may be used to launch new initiatives, expand existing programs, or support one-time capital needs. Projects that demonstrate collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability are encouraged. Examples of fundable efforts include programs addressing food insecurity, youth development, senior support, environmental conservation, community arts, and local education. Proposals should include a clear description of objectives, intended outcomes, and a plan for implementation.
Grant amounts vary based on the size and scope of the project, as well as the availability of funding in each cycle. Proposals are evaluated on impact, feasibility, alignment with community needs, and the capacity of the organization to deliver results. Successful applicants often demonstrate strong local partnerships and a thoughtful approach to long-term community benefit.
Grants are typically awarded on an annual basis, with set deadlines for proposal submission.
