Funding for Non-Profits

New funding for Not For Profits is constantly evolving. At HCDC we monitor as many channels as possible and list relevant funding to support community economic development in our community.

Resilient Communities Fund (OTF):  Apply for funding to help your non-profit organization rebuild from the impacts of COVID-19 and effectively meet the changing needs of your community.  Apply for $10,000-$100,000.  Deadline December 7, 2022.

Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund:  This Fund (OCAF) has three aims: (1) to increase cultural tourism by providing investments to assist Ontario organizations to develop, promote and present one- off or first time events, or a significant expansion of existing activity, which are designed to attract new tourists and visitors to cultural events; (2) increase the earned revenue capability of the applicant organization; and (3) support events that foster economic growth and contribute to job creation.  OCAF achieves this by providing up front working capital directed towards the applicant’s marketing and promotional costs, with the investment taking the form of a partially repayable loan.  There is a two step application process and the site suggests an 8 month lead time for any events.
