County of Brant and the Brant Community Foundation announced the opening of the 2025 County of Brant Community Grant Applications on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
“The County of Brant Community Grants program provides essential funding to programs and organizations across the County. The Brant Community Foundation is pleased be working with the County of Brant to adjudicate and award important financial grants” said Anne Marie Peirce, Executive Director for the Brant Community Foundation.
The County of Brant has awarded Community Grants for many years, historically as part of the budget process and more recently through the Community Grants Committee, which has allowed some separation between the budget allocation and the award processes.
This year marks the second year that Community Grants program has included the Brant Community Foundation as part of the process.
“The Brant Community Foundation’s members have years of experience in reviewing and awarding grants, applying their familiarity with the various community groups and a knowledge of the communities priorities and issues,” said David Bailey. Mayor for the County of Brant. “We believe this will be a great partnership for our Community Grants program and allow us to offer grants to our groups that need it the most.”
All County of Brant Community Grant Awards are done so on the basis of providing a one-time funding for the applicable budget year.
Applications will be accepted for the following:
- Operating Grants (maximum $5,000)
- Event Grant (maximum $5,000)
- Capital Project Grant (maximum $10,000)
Applications will be accepted by e-mail to grants@brantcf.ca until February 28, 2025, at 5:00 pm. Community Grant Applications and Eligibility Guidelines are available at www.brant.ca/GrantProgram.
