To strengthen communities and support populations, the Ontario government is investing more than $45 million through the Ontario Trillium Foundation to help 140 non-profit organizations, from expanding summer camps and improving food access in diverse communities, to supporting women and youth with housing and counselling. The funding, delivered through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Grow grant stream, will support 140 organizations working to build healthier, stronger, and more connected communities across the province.
Grants start from $100,000 to $600,000 over two to three years, to help organizations enhance their impact.
