Apply for a Grant

Annual Grant Application Deadline - January 15th

NEW PROCESS - The community foundation can now work with non-qualified donees (non-charities) by making grants to them directly. This Government of Canada legislative change recognizes the significant value that non-qualified donees bring to charitable work, and provides the community foundation with a means to build more collaborative and equitable partnerships. The funding must be applied to charitable activities in furtherance of the community foundation's charitable purposes. The community foundation's purposes are based on t he Government of Canada's categories of charitable purposes (except for the advancement of religion, which community foundations cannot fund).

New Applicants, or organizations with a new project, should call our office at 705-653-2005 to discuss their idea to ensure it meets our granting criteria, before starting the application process. New applicants must also complete the New Applicant Vetting Form as a first step in the application process. We recommend that this be submitted by December 15th at the latest to ensure that it can be reviewed and the applicant be notified about their eligibility, as the grant application deadline is January 15th.

Please review "Our Grant Program " page on this website for more information, as well as the Grant Terms & Conditions , so that you understand your obligations and our accountability expectations.

Grant funding for all projects is capped at $5,000.00 per project, due to our commitment to the Municipality of Trent Hills for the new Recreation and Wellness Centre in Campbellford, part of the recreation re-development initiative of Flourish ~ The Trent Hills Wellness Campaign.
