The Township of Muskoka Lakes recognizes the valued contributions being provided through the volunteer efforts of community organizations and agencies on behalf of the citizens. Municipal donations demonstrate Council's commitment to working with groups which provide these beneficial programs, services or projects to the community while at the same time recognizing the financial constraints impacting the Township's ability to provide funding to these groups.
Each year, as part of its annual budget process, Council will determine the amount of funding to be provided for all municipal grants/donations. A committee will review all requests and makes recommendations to Council. Council retains the right to make the final decision on both the overall funding allocation and the individual grant/donation.
The Municipal Grants Program Policy establishes eligibility requirements, identifies the type of funding available and outlines the application process. An annual application with supporting documentation will need to be filed by the deadline provided so that all requests can be reviewed.
Applying for a Municipal Grant
All funding is subject to Council budget approval. The process to apply for a municipal grant, as well as the qualification details, are outlined in the Municipal Grants Program Policy
