Local and Province-Wide Community Groups Across Ontario Receive More Than $34 Million in Grants from the Ontario Trillium Foundation
Toronto, April 7, 2008 – Local and Province-Wide community organizations across Ontario will benefit from grants recently confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). Ontario Minister of Culture Aileen Carroll noted that many of the 526 grants totalling $34,167,800 will help organizations enhance community spaces. Funding will improve accessibility and comfort, increase energy efficiency or be used for innovative technology.
“Our government is committed to fostering healthy and vibrant communities, right across Ontario,” said Minister Carroll. “These Ontario Trillium Foundation grants will help build a stronger province by fuelling local economies and improving the quality of life of Ontarians.”
“The Ontario Trillium Foundation is one of the few funders of capital improvements for Ontario’s not-for-profit sector,” said Helen Burstyn, Chair of the OTF Board of Director. “We have listened to community groups when they have told us how much they value our capital grants, and we continue to recognize the importance of these grants.”
The Ontario Trillium Foundation is an agency of the Government of Ontario. Ontario's 2008 spring budget boosted the Foundation's annual funding to $110 million from $105 million, which will be further increased to $120 million by 2009-2010.
The lists of Community and Province-Wide grants listed below were confirmed on March 6, 2008 by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Board of Directors.
