Apply For Government Grants

Seniors Community Program Grant

The Seniors Community Program Grant will start taking applications sometime in September. To help clubs prepare, I have included the only two successful applications from 2017 - James Gardens using Stream 2 (projects $3000 to $12,000) and St George using Stream 1 (projects $3000 or less). The big thing that they let you apply for is ADVERTISING but also for meals, training travel, computer equipment including printers and some sports equipment.

Read the guidelines and start thinking about what you want to apply for. When applications formally open, I will start pushing hard to help you apply and get this critical grant money.

New Horizons Grants

Six clubs in Ontario out of 120, received New Horizons Grants in 2017.
New Horizons targets seniors and offers up to $25,000 in funding for capital projects.
Realistically about 50% of our clubs should get grants every year. We can help get you there.
Contact Phillip Francis francis@olba.ca or Ralph Ellis ellis@olba.ca for help.
We can get you on track to take advantage of government programs and use them to build your membership.
Get specific information about the grant and the process for applications here.
The deadline to apply is June 15, 2018.
