Ontario is accepting applications for the Seniors Community Grant Program until March 4, 2016. According to the submission guidelines, eligible applicants “must represent seniors groups or not-for- profit organizations or offer programs or services which directly benefit seniors living in Ontario.” This is an excellent opportunity to forge and/or strengthen community partnerships in order to meet local needs. On page 11 of the guidelines it states ineligible organizations include those whose “primary source of annual base funding is from the province of Ontario”; however, it also states: “One organization may apply on behalf of a group of organizations. The lead organization will be legally responsible for the agreement and the project on behalf of the group that they represent.” As such you may be able to partner with one or more organizations who are eligible to apply as listed on page 10-11 of the guidelines. For further information on eligibility and other matters please contact the Seniors Community Grant Program, seniorscommunitygrant@ontario.ca or 1-844-SCG-2016 (1-844-724-2016).
