Grants-in-Aid 2025

DEADLINE:  DECEMBER 15, 2024

Are you part of an organization that delivers a positive contribution to the community? Have a great idea for an event?

Grants-in-Aid are provided to non-profit and community groups on the basis that they provide valuable programs to the community and are unable to raise all their required funding without the City’s assistance.

Grants-in-Aid are intended to encourage innovation that supports or contributes to the community and the goals of Council. This includes one-time start-up funding for initiatives or programs to assist groups who are hosting a special event or organizing the inaugural of what is intended to be a regular event in Merritt.
