Appplications for 2022 Community Grant Program Open Friday

Peterborough City Council has announced that the application process for the 2022 Community Grant Program will open on Friday.

The Community Grants program provides financial assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations that provide direct programs, services or activities that enhance the quality of life for Peterborough residents.

Each year Peterborough City Council dedicates funds to be distributed to various community groups within the City. All grants are subject to evaluation and final approval by Council.

There are three streams of grants that groups can apply to:

The Community Project Grant offers $250 - $1,000 and is intended to be used to kickstart a project or special event.

The Community Investment Grant offers $1,000 - $15,000 to support larger projects or special events, specific programs of larger organizations, or operating budgets.

The Community Service Grant is not available through the application process. Eligible organizations will be identified by City staff and approved by Council. They will be required to enter into a Service Contract with the City in order to receive the funding. This grant will offer support for municipally mandated services for which the requested amount is more than $15,000.
