On July 9, the Ontario government announced the launch of its Community Capital Fund to support infrastructure projects for non-profit organizations across the province.
Aimed at various cultural communities that deliver public services, the grants, from $20,000 to $500,000, will be aimed at covering capital costs, which are often overlooked by other funding organizations.
The $50-million fund will be administered by the
Trillium Foundation. Applications are going out in September, with a deadline of Dec. 31.
"Not-for-profit organizations deliver important public services to cultural communities and contribute greatly to the social and economic development of this province," says Minister of Tourism and Culture
Michael Chan. "This new fund strengthens our diversity, supports local economic development, and creates more jobs for Ontario families."
