The Community Organization Investment
TIMING: 2020-2024
PARTNER: Local Community Organizations Determined Annually
The Neighbourhood Infrastructure Strategy of the Community Benefits Plan includes a commitment to provide a $100,000 (CDN) annual investment allowance for community organizations located in or serving Sandwich/west Windsor or Delray/Southwest Detroit residents for a five-year duration from 2020 – 2024. Following consultation with community partners, the project team has committed to increasing the annual investment to $200,000 (CDN) annually for the 2023 and 2024 funding cycles. Each community will receive $100,000 in funding for the remaining two years.
Through the Community Organization Investment initiative, eligible organizations can submit applications for funding on an annual basis for proposed initiatives ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 (CDN) for events, programming and infrastructure improvements that will benefit the Sandwich/west Windsor or Delray/Southwest Detroit neighbourhoods.
