Annual community grant program accepting second-round of applications

The City of Port Colborne’s community grant program is now accepting the second-round of applications from non-profit organizations. 

As approved at the Nov. 23, 2020 Council Meeting, the community grant program will increase by 20 per cent. This year the grant committee will distribute more than $35,000 to non-profit organizations, charitable organizations, and service organizations that benefit the citizens of Port Colborne and enhance the quality of the community, especially during a pandemic.

Organizations can only apply once per fiscal year, with the second-round of applications due Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

The Grant Policy Committee established in December 2015 when council passed by-law 6317/143/15 and oversees the distribution grants to non-profit organizations. Grant committee members include Mayor William Steele, Councillor Eric Beauregard, Councillor Gary Bruno, Bea Kenny, and Brenda Haymes.

The grant policy and application can be found on the Grant Policy Committee page of the City’s website.
