News release

Today, the Town of Milton is reintroducing its Milton Small Grant Program aimed at supporting small scale, community-led projects. The Milton Small Grant Program is designed to provide financial assistance to residents, resident groups, not-for-profit corporations and non-profit organizations that are working to improve the quality of life in Milton through projects, events and programs.

Eligible Milton residents, local not-for-profit corporations and non-profit organizations can apply for funding to support a wide-range of projects, events and initiatives. This includes projects related to recreation, arts and culture, health and wellness and more.  

Activities or events must meet the following conditions:

  • Take place in, or directly benefit the Milton community
  • Provide for community building, an opportunity for connection, knowledge sharing, and relationship building
  • Be free for the Milton public to attend, accessible and welcoming
  • Be held on public property, not-for-profit corporation’s/non-profit organization’s operating location or private property rental space

This year, successful applicants can receive a grant of up to $2,500. The distribution of funds has increased from $20,000 in 2022, to $75,000 this year, allowing for an even greater impact on the Milton community.  

This grant is given out to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all funds are distributed, the application window will close for the year.

The Milton Small Grant Program was approved by Town of Milton Council as a two-year pilot for 2022 and 2023. The program is funded through the Milton Community Fund, which receives funding from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)’s Mohawk location for the benefit of the community. Organizations unable to accept funding from the OLG, can contact Town staff for more details, as there are alternate funding sources available.
