A group of people put their hands together in a circle.

On February 1, the Town of Orangeville will begin accepting applications for the first intake of the 2024 Community Grants Program. The community grants are available to not-for-profit businesses and charitable organizations that provide a social, economic, or other benefit to the Orangeville community.

“There are so many incredible organizations that are working hard to benefit our community in the Town of Orangeville in so many ways, whether it's through support programs, community enhancements, or other ways,” said Mayor Lisa Post. “Providing this work is often costly, and the Town is pleased to be able to offer some support.”

Applications will be accepted between February 1 and March 31, 2024 and will be reviewed by Town Staff and Headwaters Communities in Action (HCIA) prior to making recommendations to council.

To be eligible for the funding, organizations must satisfy several criteria, including:

Work/projects must be beneficial to the Orangeville Community

If an organization has previously received funding, they must be able to demonstrate the value that funding provided to the community

Services must be available to citizens on an equal basis, even if limited to segments of the community

Must be able to demonstrate a reasonable effort to raise funds from sources other than the Town.

Applicants must also submit a fully completed application form, financial statements from the previous year, and a budget for the project, initiative, or service for which they are requesting funding support.

Council will vote on staff and HCIA recommendations at the May 13, 2024 Council Meeting.
