Community Partnerships

Haldimand County offers a variety of partnership opportunities to support local groups in meeting their goals.

To be eligible for a partnership, you must be either:

• A community-based Board of Directors on behalf of a not-for-profit, incorporated group/organization.
• An established community association or private sector business or organization in conjunction with a not-for-profit as the lead on the proposal.

Community grants

We provide grant funding to eligible applicants through our Community Beautification Fund or Capital Project Program. Additional funds are also allocated annually for downtown organizations, festivals and events, and community halls, fields and parks as part of the budget process. 

Capital Projects Program (CPP)

Purpose

This fund aims to maximize the relationships between community not-for-profit organizations and Haldimand to:

• Leverage volunteer resources to create strategic, community-initiated infrastructure
• Provide groups with a single point of access to Haldimand for efficient approvals and funding

What the grant covers

Eligible projects include initiatives which are new and/or intended to enhance/replace an existing asset located on Haldimand County land. Projects or costs associated with programming or group operations are not eligible.

Grant amount

We will provide 30% grant funding, based on the total project budget. The group must contribute the other 60% of the funds but cannot use money from another County grant source. External grants and donations are permitted.

You can submit your application at any time throughout the year, keeping the following timelines in mind:
