Nine Community Project Grants awarded by the Town of Grimsby

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.
