Applications now open for the Milton Community Fund

The Milton Community Fund is now accepting applications for its 2026 program, celebrating its 25th year supporting local organizations. From May 12 to July 28, not-for-profit organizations can apply for grants to support the delivery of programs, services and events that enrich Milton’s artistic, cultural, and recreational landscape.

Approximately $425,000 in funding is available to support activities and initiatives scheduled for 2026. Funding decisions will be announced in January 2026.

“The Milton Community Fund plays a vital role in supporting organizations that unite and uplift our community,” said Steve Palmer, Director, Recreation & Culture, Town of Milton. “We are proud to provide resources that help build connections, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to making Milton a true place of possibility for everyone.”

Since its establishment by Milton Council 25 years ago, the Milton Community Fund has distributed more than $8.1 million to a range of not-for-profit community organizations. In 2024, Milton Council approved $433,168 in grants to support 44 organizations. Funded by proceeds from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) through the Town’s hosting of Elements Casino Mohawk, these grants enhance Milton’s community well-being.
