The Grant in Aid Program provides modest seed funding of up to $1,000 each year through two payment streams; community facilitated activities and new or special projects.
This grant program is focused on providing seed money for new and special projects or one time community facilitated activities. Requests for ongoing operating funding or facility maintenance are not eligible. Council has also indicated that they wish to encourage applications related to sustainability, emergency preparedness and accessibility.
All Grant requests shall be subject to the availability of sufficient funding within the District’s Annual Operating Budget.
Grants are generally intended for “not for profit” and community organizations which provide a direct benefit to the citizens of the District. The District’s Grant-In-Aid Policy outlines the criteria used in considering grant awards.
