Attention, Ontario communities! The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Company is bringing some exciting news your way. They are offering a staggering $350,000 in grants for community initiatives in 2023, and it’s all about promoting learning and engagement on a local level.
These grants, known as L.E.A.F. (Learning and Engagement Accelerator Fund), range from $10,000 to $50,000. The focus is on supporting projects that enhance learning and community building. This means everything from supporting educational programs to improving places where communities come together to learn, like libraries, schools, and community centers.
But here’s the twist – it’s not just about applying for these grants. The Commonwell wants communities to get involved. Residents can nominate eligible projects, and community engagement plays a crucial role in deciding which proposals get funded. So, rallying support for your community project is essential!
The Applications opened on September 5th, and are open until November 10th, with recipients announced on December 11th, 2023.
If you’re in Pembroke, Renfrew, Arnprior, or any other eligible town in Ontario, this is your chance to make a difference and access these generous grants from The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group. Learn more and get involved at thecommonwell.ca/leaf.
