Wellington North accepting applications for 2026 grants

The Township of Wellington North is now accepting applications for the 2026 grants and donations program.

The township says the annual program provides funding aimed at "enabling local groups to plan, develop and implement community development-based activities, programs and events."

The initiatives that apply for funds should meet local needs, involve and empower local people, and have an aim of sustainability.

This program has been oversubscribed in recent years, so applicants will be reviewed and judged on a scoring matrix to assess the overall impact on Wellington North residents.

The program consists of two streams: cash donations and use of space. The cash donation stream allows eligible organizations to apply for up to $1,000. The use of space stream allows eligible organizations to apply for a fee waiver for use of space in a Township-owned facility up to $1,000.

Applications for the 2026 intake must be submitted by Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

The application form and program overview for the Community Grants and Donations Program can be found on the Township of Wellington North’s website.
