NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF BARRIE
*************************
The City of Barrie is accepting applications from eligible local organizations for the 2024 Recreation and Sport Community Grant, which provides funding to enhance access to recreation and sport opportunities in Barrie.
Organizations can apply for funding in two categories: programming to support new or innovative recreation and sport opportunities, or capital improvement projects.
For either funding category, applicants must be an incorporated not-for-profit organization, a community association operating as a not-for-profit or a registered charitable organization. For-profit enterprises may apply in collaboration with an eligible not-for-profit provided they receive no direct financial benefit.
Since its inception in early 2022, the city has awarded more than $530,000 in funding to advance new and innovative programs and infrastructure improvements that focus on the health and well-being of residents.
There is no set dollar-amount limit on application requests.
Applications will be accepted until Friday, July 12, 2024, and grants will be awarded in late July.
Interested organizations can learn more about the grant and apply via barrie.ca/CommunityGrant.
New: The City of Barrie invites applications from citizens who wish to be considered for appointment to the adjudication panel for evaluating the Recreation and Sport Community Grant applications. Council approved two community members to join the panel for a term ending Dec. 31, 2024. Interested residents can apply here. The application deadline is Thursday, July 4, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.
