The
Community
Capacity Building Program
objective is to strengthen Eastern Ontario communities
by supporting economic development projects that are
incremental, address local needs and priorities and
result in long term benefits including job creation,
economic diversification, and enhanced business
competitiveness. Projects must demonstrate significant
impact on the enhancement of the local business
community and/or the community as a whole. Applicants
must demonstrate evidence of support from partners in
the private sector, community organizations,
municipalities, and/or the provincial government.
Municipal governments, not-for-profit organizations and
Aboriginal organizations located in and conducting
activities in Augusta, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, North
Grenville and/or Prescott are eligible to apply to GCFDC.
GCFDC may contribute
up to 100% of eligible project costs to a
maximum of $150,000, net of GST, however, partnerships
and projects with leveraged funds, whether in kind or
cash, will be given priority. Applicants seeking a GCFDC
contribution of $10,000 or less are to submit an
application for the
Local Initiatives Program.
