This is a release from the City of Ottawa:

Clara Freire, General Manager  Community and Social Services Department 

Subject / Objet Project Funding Application is Now  Open 

Date: October 3, 2024 

This memorandum is to inform Council that the Project Funding stream of Community  Funding is now open for applications.  

We are pleased to announce that the Community Safety and Well-Being team and the Community Development and Funding team have combined resources to offer a $1.4M  Project Funding stream. The Funding Priorities for 2024 are children and youth and priority  neighbourhoods.  

All organizations who receive funding under this joint funding stream must offer programming  that supports poverty reduction or social development. Organizations can now apply to two  funding categories: 

• Capacity Building Project Funding: Capacity Building Projects are initiatives taken  on by organizations to improve efficiency for the organization or build capacity within  the sector. The focus can be on improving the organization structure, capacity,  workflow, or partnerships. 
• Programming Funding: Programming funding is allocated to organizations to offer a  new program or expand an existing program. The program should address an  emerging or ongoing need and respond to the identified priorities and goals as  described in the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan. 

Organizations can apply once for the project funding category and once for the programming  funding category. Funding will be allocated in a one or three-year contribution.  

For more information and to apply, please visit ottawa.ca, and select Project Funding.
