The Region of Durham is now accepting applications from local non-profits in Oshawa, Ontario, for the 2026 Thriving Communities Fund. This grant program provides money to help local groups run projects that focus on preventing or reducing poverty for residents.
Successful applicants can receive up to $50,000 to fund their community initiatives. The deadline for organizations to submit their applications is March 26, 2026.
The fund supports programs that provide long-term help for social issues such as food security and mental health. It also aims to assist vulnerable residents, including children and seniors, through local grassroots services.
This initiative is part of a regional effort to address social needs by working directly with community organizations. Groups that do not meet the March deadline will miss the opportunity to access this specific funding for the 2026 calendar year.
