Non-profit groups in Pembroke have until 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2026, to apply for funding through the city’s Community Recreation Grant Program. Now in its second year, this initiative provides financial support to organizations that host local sports, wellness, and outdoor activities for residents.
The City of Pembroke Parks and Recreation Department manages the grant program, which has a total of $20,000 available for the year. Individual non-profit organizations operating within city boundaries can apply for up to $5,000 to help with programming, events, organizational support, or one-time capital projects.
According to Deputy Mayor Brian Abdallah, the city offers two application windows each year to make the funding accessible. While the first deadline is arriving soon, a second intake period is set for September 1, 2026, with at least 20 percent of the total funding reserved for that round.
Applications are reviewed by a team that includes the Director of Parks and Recreation, as well as representatives from the city’s tourism and treasury departments. Funds cannot be used for paying off debts, covering budget deficits, or supporting religious or political activities.
Interested organizations can find more information about how to submit their requests by visiting the city website.
