Non-profits, schools, and charitable organizations in Dufferin County, Ontario, can now apply for funding through the 2026 Community Grant Program. The initiative provides money to local groups to support projects that benefit residents and help the community grow.

The deadline to submit applications for this year is March 23, 2026. Dufferin County partners with Headwaters Communities in Action to run the program and review all the applications that come in.

Funding is available for several different types of projects, including those focused on the environment and climate action. Other areas that qualify for the grants include local business development, cultural programs, and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion.

The program also looks to support essential services for the region, such as programs for youth and seniors or projects that help people get better access to food. The goal of the funding is to support the grassroots work being done by local organizations across the county.
