You have until today to submit applications for Community Futures Parkland’s grants and awards.
“Local community groups know that they can apply each year, and due to our smaller intake, many of them have an opportunity to receive the funding. It is a really beneficial program for those community projects that have smaller budgets they may not be eligible for larger or provincial or federal programs.”
Paige Cruickshank says groups don’t have to match funding and they don’t have to pay the funds back.
She shares what CF Parkland is looking for when choosing grant recipients.
“They want applications that reflect the program objectives of each grant. Community projects would be tourism, events, education, and after-school programs. Entrepreneurship would be for the less established entrepreneurs.”
This is the 19th year CF Parkland has committed the region. Proximity $195,745 has been granted to 103 regional and community initiatives throughout the region.
Nomination forms can be found online for the community project grants, entrepreneurship grants, and the volunteer awards.
