Each year, the Town of Antigonish provides funding to community groups and organizations with the intent of enabling and encouraging citizen involvement in the community and civic events. The Town administers operating grants and in-kind grants (e.g. to borrow equipment, for use of staff time, or for use of Town services). The grants administration process is managed by our Recreation Department and is dictated by our Community Grants Policy. All final funding decisions are made by Town Council.
What is the purpose of the Town of Antigonish Grant Program?
The Town aims to support community-based organizations to create a range of community vents, services and projects/programs that respond to the changing needs of our community.
