We’re now accepting grant applications for the Community Capacity Building Fund!
We have $40,000 to invest in projects and would like to maximize impact by funding a variety of projects in both for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations/social enterprises.
The intent of the funding is to strengthen our communities by supporting projects that improve opportunities for growth and/or success within an organization.
Ideal activities are collaborative, innovative, and incremental projects that address local needs and priorities and result in long term benefits including job creation, economic diversification, and enhanced business competitiveness.

However, registered charitable organizations are not eligible.
Please note that while applicants are eligible to apply and receive funds multiple years, new applicants may be given priority. The maximum amount of funding that may be requested from one organization is $5000.00.
