News release 

Applications are now available for submission for the 2023 Milton Community Fund Program. The Milton Community Fund supports not-for-profit organizations whose initiatives add to the quality of life within the community or enhance Milton’s image.

Organizations providing artistic, cultural or recreational programs and services that benefit the community will be given funding consideration.

This year, Milton Council increased the available funds to $425,000, a funding increase of $175,000 from last year.

Applications will be accepted until Sept. 11, 2023, for activities and initiatives occurring in 2024. Applicants will receive a decision by January 2024.

The Milton Community Fund was established by Milton Council in 2001 to distribute a portion of the funds received from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (Woodbine - Mohawk Park). Since 2001, the Milton Community Fund has distributed more than $7.3 million to a wide range of not-for-profit community organizations. In 2022, Milton Council approved the distribution of $207,847 in grants to support 25 organizations.

Organizations unable to accept funding from the OLG, can contact Town staff for more details, as there are alternate funding sources available.

View application guidelines and access submission forms online or call 905-878-7252 ext. 2539.
