The Town of Bracebridge has created a new Covid-19 Relief Fund (CRF) to help local organizations weather the pandemic.
The $40,000 fund’s initial applications intake period runs until 4:30 pm on May 8th. The fund’s grants will be used to invest in programs that meet identified community needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a difficult time for everyone and we want residents to know that we are here to support them,” says Mayor Graydon Smith. “The Community Relief Fund is a way for the Town to contribute and support organizations so that they can continue to do their work. This effort will continue for as long as there is a need. Our goal is to support as many of the groups providing front-line help as possible.”
The following groups and organizations are eligible for funding via the CRF:
• Incorporated not-for-profit organizations;
• Registered charities;
• Community associations;
• Unincorporated groups with not-for-profit goals and governance structure;
• Creation and presentation artists and collectives; and
• Other groups or organizations with programming that meets the intent of the Fund, at the discretion of the Review Panel.
Funded activities must take place within the Town of Bracebridge. *Also, meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee that the organization will get funding.
Application forms can be found by clicking here.
More information can be found through the Town’s COVID-19 Information page, and the Town’s Engage Bracebridge platform.
