Recurring Grant

Each year during the budget process, Council will determine the community organizations that will be considered for “Recurring Grants”. These organizations often have a long history of providing social service needs to the community and will receive a letter prior to the budget meetings requesting them to complete and submit an application form. This letter will generally be sent out in August or September and the response will be due in October. Council will then determine the amount of funding, if any, to be provided to each organization as a Recurring Grant.

Eligibility requirements are defined in the Community Grant Policy.
