Celebrating Canada's 150th with community grants

Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation is next year, and to mark this milestone, Community Foundation Grey Bruce is encouraging applications for matching grants (up to a maximum of $15,000) from eligible organizations to mount projects marking Canada's 150th anniversary in the local communities.

A total of $50,000 is available in matching dollars for projects in Grey Bruce. The fund will reward grassroots leadership and will focus on local celebrations in each community. The deadline for applications is Sept. 30. Qualified donees, operating in Grey Bruce, are eligible to apply.

This initiative is made possible by the Community Fund for Canada's 150th - a collaboration between Community Foundation Grey Bruce, the Government of Canada, and extraordinary leaders from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

The focus of this program is to encourage community participation; to inspire a deeper understanding of the people, places and events that have shaped our country; and to build a vibrant and healthy community that engages all Canadians.


Created in 1994, the Community Foundation Grey Bruce has a mandate to strengthen Grey and Bruce communities through endowment-building, grant-making and community partnerships.
