From the Municipality of Lakeshore:
The Municipality of Lakeshore is committed to nurturing a unified municipality that sees possibilities, inspires innovation and realizes potential. The Municipality of Lakeshore is committed to the growth and betterment of the community. In support of these initiatives, Lakeshore offers the Lakeshore Community Benefit Fund Grant. The grant provides funding for organizations seeking financial assistance that directly benefits the general public within the Municipality of Lakeshore.
“We are very proud to support the projects and programs that are carried out by Lakeshore’s community organizations,” said Lakeshore Mayor Tracey Bailey. “As a municipality, we’re dedicated to nurturing a vibrant and thriving community, and we know the important role that these organizations play in helping us achieve that goal.”
Based on the applications, it is estimated that the programs and projects will positively impact over 8,000 residents and visitors.
The 2023 Community Benefit Fund, which opened to applicants earlier this year, saw significant uptake from local organizations. To ensure all applicants could receive a portion of their requested funds, Council supported a recommendation to approve grants up to a maximum of $15,000 in 2023. The policy will also be updated to limit grant applications to $5,000 each in future years.
