Community Grants

Council recognizes that many groups and organizations conduct events and provide programs which benefit the community.

Council will consider requests for grants from groups/organizations that meet at least one (1) of the following criteria:
• A not for profit organization that meets the criteria established in Chapter 2 “Eligibility Requirements” of the Lottery Licensing Policy Manual issued by the Province of Ontario.
• Any group or organization that would increase the general public’s awareness of our community in a positive manner.
• Any group or organization that provides a recreational or cultural service that the Township currently does not provide.

Contributions will not be made for the following purposes:
• Discriminatory activities or events or those that would incite hatred;
• Activities that are contrary to the policies of the municipality; or
• Activities which are deemed to be unlawful.

While Council will consider requests for contribution, there is no guarantee that a request will be approved. All requests for a donation must be made through the application process as outlined in this policy. Individual departments or employees have no authority to approve/grant donations requests. 

Types of Grants

1. Monetary Donations to a maximum of $5,000. (Please Note: Council may make exemptions based on needs.)
2. Grants ‘In-Kind’
3. Pins and Collectibles

Interested? Please complete an application, which can be found here. To be considered, all applications must be received by Montague Township prior to or on November 30th of the year prior to when the grant would like to be received, unless otherwise stated.
