The City of Colwood is accepting grant applications for local community initiatives that benefit Colwood residents.

Grants are available to programs that enhance quality of life for Colwood residents by promoting safety, health, arts, culture, economic diversity or environmental care.

Each year a portion of the budget is set aside for community support funding, and applications are carefully considered by Council, who recognize that many not-for-profit organizations provide valuable contributions to our community.

In recent years, grants have helped to support programs for children and youth, suicide prevention, services for seniors, literacy programs and environmental stewardship.

Applications are being accepted until November 30, 2019 for programs and initiatives that will take place in 2020.

In January 2020, a summary report of the applications will be presented for Council consideration at a Committee of the Whole meeting. Applicants will be notified of the meeting date and time so that they can attend and provide a verbal presentation if the wish to.
