CENTRE WELLINGTON – The program formerly known as the Community Impact Grants has been updated and began accepting applications on Dec. 1 under its new name: the Community Investment Fund.
The revised program has been modified slightly.
The changes include:
– each organization is permitted to submit only one grant application, preventing multiple funding requests from being submitted by the same organization;
– pausing the Annual Specific Stream to new applicants;
– removed the Capital Stream; and
– restructuring of Streams.
The new funding streams are:
Community Impact
The grants support initiatives that address local challenges via locally driven solutions.
Arts and Culture, Festivals and Events
The focus on grants in this stream is on events and creative projects that enhance community engagement.
Inclusive Community Stream
(to come into effect in 2026)
The 2025 Community Investment Fund will be open for applications from Dec. 1 to Jan. 15.
Guidelines featuring eligibility requirements and application directions are available on the grant’s webpage.
