Apply for grants and funding before September 30

Township of Severn offers various grants and funding to community groups, not-for-profits, and charitable organizations that aim to improve the well-being and quality of life for residents of our community. The available grants are based on approved funding by Council during annual budget deliberations. The deadline to submit applications for consideration by Council this year is September 30. 

Grant streams

Capital improvement and beautification grant

Eligible groups can apply for a capital improvement and beautification grant through if the group would like to undertake a capital project on municipal property. This could include installing new park equipment, purchasing flower baskets, or improving accessibility of a public area. If your application is successful, the Township will fund 50% of the project to a maximum of $10,000.

Festival and event grant

If you belong to a group that would like to hold a festival or special event open to all residents of Severn, you may be eligible for a grant of up to $5,000. Successful recipients will be asked to recognize the contribution of the Township on any materials or advertising. Grantees can apply each year, but funding will be reduced to repeat applicants with the intent to make the event or festival self-sustaining.
