The Recreation and Culture Department awards Neighbourhood Micro Grants annually to community members planning activities that benefit their neighbourhood. In celebration of the municipality's bicentennial, up to $200 will be awarded to residents for projects that satisfy the micro grant criteria.
This program helps build community and strengthen connections right where people live - in their neighbourhoods. Knowing your neighbours helps increase quality of life and decrease crime. Mississippi Mills recognizes the value of building an inclusive, welcoming, and fun community. $3600 is available for community microgrants in 2023. Connect and engage neighbourhood residents of all ages and abilities.
This funding is available for residents to develop projects that meet the needs of their neighbourhood or the greater community. Examples: Block parties to introduce new neighbours, weekly neighbourhood clean-up work parties, a birthday party for the oldest person on your street, spruce up a neighbourhood garden, offer free yoga in the park... the possibilities are endless!
To be considered applicants can send their completed application form to the Recreation and Culture Department recandculturedept@mississippimills.ca
Note: submission of an application does not guarantee the application will be awarded.
The deadline to submit your Micro Grant application is May 31, 2023.
