The Milton Community Fund is now accepting applications for its 2027 program, supporting local not-for-profit organizations that deliver programs, services, and events that add to the quality of life in our community. 

Approximately $425,000 in funding is available to support artistic, cultural, and recreational activities and initiatives taking place in 2027. Applications will be accepted until July 27, 2026, with funding decisions made by a volunteer citizen committee announced by January 2027. 

“The Milton Community Fund is an important grant program that brings people together and strengthens our community,” said Steve Palmer, Director, Recreation & Culture, Town of Milton.  

“By supporting local organizations, the fund helps build lasting connections and contributes to making Milton a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone.” 

Established by Milton Council in 2001, the Milton Community Fund has distributed more than $8.4 million to a wide range of not-for-profit community organizations. In 2025 alone, Milton Council approved $536,668 in grants to support 52 organizations across the community. 

The fund is supported by proceeds from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) generated through hosting Elements Casino Mohawk, with grants intended to enhance community well-being and quality of life in Milton. 

For application guidelines and submission forms, visit the Town of Milton website or call 905-878-7252 ext. 2539. Groups that are unable to accept funding from the OLG can contact Town staff to discuss alternative funding sources that are available.
