Town encouraging charitable and volunteer groups to apply for community grants

The Town of St. Marys is encouraging charitable, non-profit and volunteer organizations, sports groups and service clubs to apply to its Community Grant Program. Eligible applicants could receive up to $5,000 for their project, event, or initiative.  

Past grant recipients have included St. Marys Community Dinners, the Kinsmen Club of St. Marys, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, St. Marys Station Gallery and many others.

Interested applicants should review the Town’s Community Grant Policy and application form at www.townofstmarys.com/grants. Eligible projects must support one of the following pillars of the Town’s Strategic Plan: culture and recreation, balanced growth, economic development, and housing.

Applicants must be in or provide services to the St. Marys community. External applicants will only be considered if they can clearly show that any funding received will have a direct, positive impact on St. Marys. All applicants are required to demonstrate financial need and proof that other funding sources have been considered.

The deadline to apply is November 30, 2024. Council will make all funding decisions after the 2025 budget process. Decisions will be made based on local needs and priorities, the Town’s strategic goals and the approved municipal budget. If you were a successful 2024 recipient of this grant, make sure the required documents for the 2024 grant are submitted.

Questions and/or completed applications should be directed to the Deputy Treasurer, Denise Feeney at 519-284-2340, ext. 238 or dfeeney@town.stmarys.on.ca.
