Cultivating Opportunity Grant Program

Perth County believes that community organizations play an essential role in improving the quality of life of residents. The County’s role in supporting these organizations is guided by the Strategic Plan and Council’s vision of creating an active, rural, caring, and diverse community. The Cultivating Opportunity Grant Program closely aligns with the Strategic Plan by aligning with the following goals: Growth & Economic Development, Customer Service Excellence, Community Development & Planning, and Corporate Sustainability.

The Cultivating Opportunity Grant Program has been developed with the following goals in mind:

  • Direct grant funding to eligible not-for-profit organizations and registered charities to enrich the community and support the goals of the County’s Strategic Plan and other initiatives
  • Establish specific eligibility criteria, standardize the application process and ensure that the allocation of grant funding is transparent, consistent and achieves the maximum impact for the investment provided
  • Establish standardized reporting criteria for grant recipients

The authority to for a municipality to provide a grant program can be found in the Municipal Act, 2001:

Section 107 (1) Despite any provision of this or any other Act relating to the giving of grants or aid by a municipality, subject to section 106, a municipality may make grants, on such terms as to security and otherwise as the council considers appropriate, to any person, group or body, including a fund, within or outside the boundaries of the municipality for any purpose that council considers to be in the interests of the municipality.  2001, c. 25, s. 107 (1).
