Maloney thanked the recipient organizations for the contributions they make in the community, and was happy to see the funding go toward the projects and programs provided by these agencies.
“Council is very pleased to support the work of these amazing groups in their contribution in making our community a better place in which to live,” said Maloney. “These agencies engage volunteers in meaningful ways to make positive impacts in Bracebridge and the surrounding area.”
The Town of Bracebridge recognizes the valuable contributions being provided through non-profit organizations and other community groups on behalf of the citizens of Bracebridge.
Local community groups and non-profit organizations are invited to submit applications in the fall of each year for specific projects or one-time funding that benefit the residents of the Town of Bracebridge.
Since its inception in 2009, the Town of Bracebridge has contributed over $100,000 to non-profit projects through the Community Grant Program.
