Community Grant Program

The Town of Halton Hills recognizes that everyone – governments, community groups, organizations and residents – share the responsibility to make the Halton Hills community, a safe and welcoming place to live. To support this, the Town of Halton Hills provides funding and resources to help community-based activities, events, and projects that align with the Town’s priorities. Through the Community Grant Program (CGP), community groups, organizations and residents can make positive and meaningful impact to the lives of the Halton Hills community.

Areas of Support

Community groups, neighbourhood groups and organizations can choose one funding stream for their activity, event, or initiative. Funding streams include:

Community Projects: Support for group development activities, governance, marketing and promotion, strategic planning, training, and volunteer management. New activities, events, and initiatives that innovatively seek to meet or resolve a defined need within the community. This funding stream provides a maximum of $2,500.00 per group, per project.
Neighbourhood Projects: Empowering residents and neighbourhood groups to create and host new activities and initiatives designed to celebrate and to build healthier, connected and more engaged neighbourhoods. This funding stream provides a one-time maximum of $250.00 per neighbourhood group.
