Arts & Culture Mini-Grant (Maximum of $500);
Children & Youth in Recreation Mini-Grant (Maximum of $5000).
Community Kindness Grants for Schools – An innovative opportunity for students in Campbellford to learn about philanthropy.
Note:
Organizations cannot apply for a grant unless they are in good standing with their previous years grants. Project Evaluation reports should be complete and submitted in a timely manner.
Organizations must complete a separate application for each project. Please do not “bundle” multiple projects on one application form.
Organizations cannot typically apply for the second cycle of funding for a program that was funded in a previous year. A pilot program that was deemed successful should have a sustainability plan developed to continue that program without annual CSCF grant funding.
Eligibility Criteria

In order to be eligible to apply for a grant, an organization must:

Improvements to the following Municipal public spaces – recreation facilities, streetscape, heritage and cultural spaces, and green space beautification.
The lead organization delivers the approved grant project, with the Municipality retaining direction and control over the project funds.
Organizations should contact the Community Foundation first to see if their proposed project meets the municipal eligibility guidelines.
