Community Grant Program

To be eligible for this grant program, activities must promote and enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of the Township and its citizens.

• Applicants must operate in the Township of King and/or must be open to all King Township citizens. Non-local applicants who can demonstrate evidence of a specific King Township-based activity/event/initiative, where the majority of participants are Township of King citizens, may also be considered.
• Applications from both public and private school boards will only be considered for the Environment King Stream.
• Applicants must be a minimum of 18 years of age to apply or be sponsored by an individual 18 years of age or older.
• Applicants should be able to demonstrate active fundraising efforts to support the continuation of the project, event, or service; the Community Grant Program should never be considered as the only source of funding for the project.
• Applications from individuals, faith organizations, social service agencies, service clubs, and for-profit groups/organizations will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Fundraising-based activities, events and initiatives are eligible on a case-by-case basis with funds raised being re-invested into the community.
• Funds must be used for the purpose for which they were awarded. If this is not possible the grant must be returned, or alternate arrangements made to the satisfaction of staff.
• Additional Township funding programs exist, and applicants should consider the strategic priorities of each Township funding program and target application accordingly. (i.e., Economic Development Grant).
• Funded activities must recognize the Township of King’s contribution by including the logo on all promotional materials (in accordance with brand guidelines).
• One application per applicant per year.
