The Ontario government is giving more than $45 million to 140 non-profit groups, Indigenous communities, and small towns across the province. The funding is coming through the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) and will help these groups grow and improve the programs and services they offer.
The money will go to projects that keep people active, build stronger communities, support youth, and promote arts, culture, and heritage.
The OTF’s Grow grants support non-profits with amounts between $100,000 and $600,000, to be used over two to three years. These grants help organizations expand or improve existing programs.
Some of the groups receiving this year’s Grow grants include:
Huron Women’s Shelter is receiving almost $600,000 to launch a new housing model that focuses on relationships and support for women and children affected by violence.
Shelterlink Youth Services in Stratford has been awarded $153,600 through the Foundation’s Grow grant program to support its work with youth across Grey, Bruce, Huron, and Perth counties.
