Municipalities outside of Winnipeg, along with Northern Affairs Community Councils and non-profit organizations, can now apply for funding to support youth employment, economic development, and local capacity building.
The province has announced it is accepting applications for its From The Ground Up and Urban/Hometown Green Team programs, with February 18th being the application deadline.
The Urban/Hometown Green Team program supports youth employment on community projects between May and September, while the From the Ground Up grant program supports community capacity building in three areas: community economic development, recreation and well-being, and housing and safety co-ordination supports.
Non-profit organizations and Northern Affairs community councils can apply for up to 80 per cent of eligible project costs, while municipal governments may receive up to 50 percent of eligible project costs.
