District of Lantzville - Notice of 2020 Grants In Aid Application

PUBLIC NOTICE - 2020 Grants In Aid Application

Early in 2020, Council of the District of Lantzville will consider applications for discretionary Grants in Aid for the 2020 calendar year. Funds available for grants are limited, and subject to budgetary constraints and Policy No. 3000-1. The Policy is designed to assist not-for-profit organizations with projects, special activities, or to allow them to take advantage of opportunities and events to develop their organization. The organization should be registered as a Society, or belong to a parent Society, under the laws of British Columbia and/or Canada. Preference will be given to organizations that are locally based and whose efforts are community based in nature. Council will not grant monies for a ‘for profit’ organization.

Does your local not-for-profit organization sponsor a program, activity or event that will:

Strengthen and enhance the well-being of our community
Be of benefit to the District of Lantzville and its residents
Promote volunteering, where possible
Address community needs
Improve the community’s ability to identify needs and to implement self-help programs
Promote cultural, recreational and social understanding
Be well-publicized in our community?

Considerations in authorizing grants include if the grant: will benefit a large number of residents, is for start-up or early stage support (and not for ongoing operation budgets), is the first application by the organization, enables a unique experience for a large number of residents, or will promote the community, its strength or quality of life.

Applications must be completed and submitted to the Municipal Hall or email: district@lantzville.ca, no later than 4:00 pm, Friday, February 1, 2020. Click here to view the 2020 Grants in Aid Policy No. 3000-1 and Application
