Keeping our communities safe, healthy and thriving is one of our top priorities. We’ve continued to work alongside local partners to address key issues and take positive and sustainable actions that contribute to a healthy and safe community.
The Halton Region Community Investment Fund (HRCIF) has been one of our most important tools for helping local organizations make a positive impact. Halton Region is investing $4.0 million per year in local non-profit organizations who provide vital services to vulnerable residents living in Halton. I am pleased to share that we are now accepting funding applications for 2024.
Funding is available in single year and multi-year grants through two categories:
- Category One: Provides up to one year of funding, for a maximum of $30,000. Non-profit, charitable or unincorporated community organizations can apply for short-term, small capital and/or innovative projects.
- Category Two: Provides up to three years of funding to registered charities for programs and initiatives.
I encourage all local organizations that meet eligibility requirements to apply for this funding. The Region will be hosting three information sessions about the HRCIF and the application process:
- Thursday, September 28, 9:30 to 11 a.m. (Virtual)
- Tuesday, October 3, 1:30 to 3 p.m. (In-person)
- Wednesday, October 4, 6 to 7:30 p.m. (Virtual)
Funding applications are due by 2 p.m. on November 2, 2023. To apply or learn more, please visit the HRCIF webpage on halton.ca.
By working together to protect and enhance the well-being and safety of our community, we keep Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
