The Enrich King program aims to streamline access to funding and support for residents, organizations and other community groups in King Township. By amalgamating four different funding streams— the Community Assistance Program, Heritage Property Grants, the Community Improvement Plan, and the Community Grant Program—into a centralized, online platform, that will simplify the process of obtaining funding, donations, and in-kind services.

Reflecting on the successes of the previous year, we are proud of the diverse range of projects that received funding. Over $16,000 was granted in 2024 to various groups for community events and other impactful initiatives.
