Back to SearchDufferin County is accepting applications in a second round of Community Grants and Food for Thought Grants to support eligible projects and programs that benefit the residents of Dufferin. HCIA is proud to partner with The County by providing an assessment team to review, evaluate and recommend applications for approval by Council.
If you or an organization you know wants to make a difference in the community and could use some additional funds for a new or expanded initiative, please consider submitting an application for funding by August 20, 2021. (Applicants must be a registered not-for-profit or charitable organization, or partnered with one, and not a municipality. If you have already received a 2021 Community Grant, you are ineligible for the second round.)
