NIPISSING – MPP Vic Fedeli is pleased to announce the Ontario government has opened applications for the 2024-25 cycle of Inclusive Community Grants. These grants provide municipalities, non-profit organizations, and Indigenous communities with up to $60,000 for local projects that will help older adults and people with disabilities participate in community life.
“This year, Ontario is prioritizing Inclusive Community Grant projects focused on increasing access to outdoor spaces and promoting accessible housing and transportation,” said MPP Vic Fedeli. “We encourage our local municipalities and non-profits to apply for this grant to improve the quality of life for our local residents.”
The Ontario government is investing $750,000 this year to help communities across the province become more age-friendly and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Since the Inclusive Community Grants Program was created in 2020, the Ontario government has provided up to $4.5 million to support 87 projects in communities across Ontario.
Information on the Inclusive Community Grants are available at Ontario.ca/GetFunding. Eligible organizations can apply through Transfer Payment Ontario. The deadline to submit applications is May 22, 2024.
