The Town of Grimsby has awarded nine significant and well-deserving community organizations grants as part of the Community Project Grant Program. These grants are intended to provide eligible groups the financial support to help the start-up of an eligible organization, project or short-term undertaking, and enhance programs aimed at increasing community participation.
The 2024 Recipients of the Community Project Grant Program includes:
· The Grimsby Lawn Bowling Club
· Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club
· Hamilton Naturalists' Club
· Niagara 4H Association
· GBF Community Services
· Grimsby and District Lions Club
· Grimsby Celebration Choir
· Redcoats Lacrosse
· ParaSport Ontario
Applicants were judged based on a specific set of criteria, including registration as a charity and the potential to significantly benefit Grimsby residents by addressing unmet needs or enhancements to existing services. Evidence of community support and financial feasibility was also a key factor, with a priority given to original projects over those previously awarded funding.
This grant program was designed to help facilitate any projects that individuals, groups, and non-profit organizations create to enhance the quality of life in our community. Community grants are not only vital to a community, but they support local initiatives that foster community engagement, cultural enrichment, and social impact.
All grant recipients are required to submit a final report detailing the outcomes of their projects and the expenditures covered by the grant funding.
