The City of Fredericton's application process for its 2024 Community Funding Grants, Strategic Partner Capital Grants, and the new category of Climate Change Action Grants is now closed.
Community Funding Grants 2024
The focus of the Community Funding Grants is to encourage the growth and stability of non-profit organizations in the city whose purpose and activities align to achieve the outcomes of a more livable and economically viable community.
Funding may be made available for festivals & events; educational & cultural development; recreation & tourism program support; arts, culture & heritage; as well as festival & event innovation and greening.
The grant must be applied to a specific program or service or used as capital funding for the construction of facilities or the purchase of equipment that will benefit to the community at large.
Past applicants are reminded that successful applications received under any of the grant categories for the same purpose or event are only considered once and limited to one annual grant from the City of Fredericton.
The City’s Municipal Finance and Corporate Administration has approved, in principle, an amount of $368,000 for the 2024 Community Funding Grants, up $25,000 from 2023 to account for inflation.
