Grants

Municipal Grant opportunities are offered by the Township of Centre Wellington to support the effort of as many initiatives as possible, that positively impact the community. 

In 2017, The Township of Centre Wellington, Elora & Fergus Tourism, and Regional Tourism Organization 4 (RTO4) created the Destination Animation Project (DAP). For more information on this initiative, visit our Tourism Business Resources here. 

County of Wellington Community Grants: open until November 30, 2024

UPDATE FOR 2025 APPLICATIONS: (as of October 10, 2024)

Typically we offer an information session in August and then open applications in early September. After careful consideration and valuable feedback from the Healthy Communities Advisory Committee, applicants and other funding agencies, staff are working on bringing a new grant structure for review, to two Advisory Committees and Council in November. The new timeline for 2025 applications is as follows:

• November: Presentations to Advisory Committees and Council (late November)
• Early December: Information session and Applications open for approximately 6 weeks
• Early January: Scoring committees to review and draft recommendations to Council
• Early February: Present recommendations to Council and make recipient list public. 

The timing has been pushed further back than initially anticipated to give the various studies and plans time with the Advisory Committees that was required.
