The Halton Region is taking applications for the Halton Region Community Investment Fund (HRCIF).
The fund is for non-profit human service programs and initiatives that enhance the health, safety and well-being of Halton residents. It’s part of the Region’s approach to Community Safety and Well-Being planning.
“Halton Region is investing $4.0 million per year in local non-profit organizations who provide vital services to vulnerable residents living in Halton,” says Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “We have had great success through the Halton Region Community Investment Fund and we look forward to continuing this important work alongside our non-profit partners to enhance the health, safety and well-being of our community.”
Funding is available in single year and multi-year grants through two categories:
- Category One: Provides up to one year of funding, for a maximum of $30,000. Non-profit, charitable or unincorporated community organizations can apply for short-term, small capital and/or innovative projects.
- Category Two: Provides up to three years of funding to registered charities for programs and initiatives.
Organizations that meet eligibility criteria may submit one application in each funding category. The application deadline for both categories is Thursday, November 2nd at 2:00 p.m.
