Municipal Grants

The Township of Muskoka Lakes recognizes the valued contributions being provided through the volunteer efforts of community organizations and agencies on behalf of the citizens. Municipal donations demonstrate Council’s commitment to working with groups which provide these beneficial programs, services or projects to the community while at the same time recognizing the financial constraints impacting the Township’s ability to provide funding to these groups.

Each year, as part of its annual budget process, Council will determine the amount of funding to be provided for all municipal grants/donations.  The Grants Committee reviews requests and makes recommendations to Council. Council retains the right to make the final decision on both the overall funding allocation and the individual grant/donation.

The guidelines establish eligibility requirements, identify the types of funding available and outline the application process.  An annual application with supporting documentation will need to be filed by the deadline provided so that all requests can be reviewed and included as part of the following years’ preliminary budget.
