City opens up applications for 2026 Community Group Funding

The City has opened up applications for the next Community Group Funding cycle, which begins in 2026.

Community Group Funding is available for programs and services run by groups that benefit the community and residents.

The funding pool has been updated for the next cycle, particularly when it comes to changes like increased parameters for capital requests, and the introduction of three funding streams.

Under the updated system, “small grants” are available for local programs that enhance the quality of life in the city for up to $10K per year, while “medium grants” are available for organizations that address unmet or emerging community needs for up to $25K per year for a maximum of two years, and “large grants” are available for council approved community partners who operate city-owned facilities or provide services on behalf of the community for up to $25K per year.

Additionally, capital grant funding is available up to a maximum of 50 per cent of a total project’s costs.

The city maintains that funding allocation recommendations are made based on community needs and a group’s ability to respond to those needs. Interested organizations can apply for Community Group Funding online until April 30th of this year.
