Cranbrook city council has adopted a new municipal grant program policy, which reworks how the city allocates funding to societies and charities.
City officials said the rules will outline the eligibility and evaluation criteria and guiding principles of city council.
“The application process has been updated to reflect the new policy and procedure that were created in alignment with Councils’ 2024 – 2027 Strategic Plan,” said city staff. “Applications are available in several formats to support the accessibility needs of societies and charities.”
The new policy will have a clearly outlined process with specific guidance around the application process, eligibility requirements, evaluations and reporting requirements for the municipal grant program.
“New and previous applicants are encouraged to review the updated application process to ensure their applications are completed and ready for submission prior to the September 1st, 2023 deadline,” said Cranbrook officials.
City officials said council divvies up $300,000 in grant funding each year to local organizations.
