CIP Guidelines

2007-08 funding – $30 million

The Community Initiatives Program will support project-based initiatives in areas such as community services, seniors’ services, libraries, arts and culture, sports, education, health and recreation. The maximum grant will be $75,000 per project per year, and applications can be submitted anytime throughout the year.

CIP funding is approved on a matching grant basis. The matching requirement may be met in the form of any contribution of money, volunteer labour, services, or donated materials or equipment for the project. If a group can demonstrate significant difficulty in raising matching funds, funding will be considered on a non-matching basis.

Applicants:

• Community non-profit groups (see list of registry qualifications in application)
• Community organizations that are not registered may have a sponsor apply on their behalf (see application)
• Social Services Sector, and Regional Children’s Authorities
• Municipalities
• First Nations and Métis Settlements
