Round Two of Community Micro-Grants Projects Announced – April 2012
The City of Charlottetown is inviting citizens to be architects of our City’s future and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. Following up the pilot Community Micro – Grants Project in the Fall of 2011, the City is, once again, offering financial support for the development of community initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to create a healthier, vibrant and Sustainable City.
The City is currently accepting proposals for the second round of grants, until May 14th, 2012. There will be two streams of grants; one for youth and school groups (a maximum of $1,000) and another for other groups and organizations (a maximum of $2,500).
The project guidelines and application forms are available BELOW. A review committee will grant funding based on each initiative’s potential to achieve the goals and actions of the City’s Sustainability Plan.
