Grants For Creative Projects Needed By Aug. 26, 2011!

The WindsorEssex Community Foundation Announces Grants For Innovative Community Projects!


 Do you have an idea that would make a difference in the lives of people in Windsor and Essex County? The WindsorEssex Community Foundation (WECF) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for its 2011 Community Impact Grants.


The Foundation’s Community Impact Grants provide organizations with $2,000 to $10,000 to implement innovative projects that make Windsor and Essex County a better place to live, work, play, learn and grow. They are interested in initiatives that will make a lasting difference, increase community capacity, involve partnerships, show creativity and provide a model for others.

“Organizations often have great ideas, but lack the financial resources to bring them to life,” says WECF’s Grants Committee Chair, Jay Strosberg. “These grants help them develop new and creative projects that can have a positive impact upon our communities for years to come.”

The Community Foundation knows that community vitality is built through a variety of elements, so we fund a wide range of initiatives. Past projects we have funded include; a mental health guide for new-comers to Canada, the purchase of skates and helmets for All Saints’ Skate Program, a video commemorating our Veterans, community recreations spaces, tree plantings, and community gardens.
