Fall Grants
Thank you for your Fall Grants 2025 applications
The deadline for our Fall Grants has now passed, and our Grants Review Team is beginning its challenging work of assessing the applications from so many excellent charities. We thank all the organizations that submitted. You will be contacted by October 30th regarding the outcome of your grant proposal. If you’d like to see what goes into our grants review process, check out this webpage.
For the Refugee Resettlement Fund grant, we are initiating a collaborative decision-making process for the $4,000 in available funds. Our first step will be bringing together all interested groups that support new refugees in Dufferin County. If you are interested, please contact Michele Fisher at michele@dufferincommunityfoundation.ca or at 519-938-0780.
