North Grenville, ON – The Municipality of North Grenville is proud to announce the establishment of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Fund, initiated by the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee.
Residents and local organizations are invited to apply for funding to support initiatives that promote EDI values within the community, with the application deadline set for August 30, 2024.
Mayor Nancy Peckford expressed enthusiasm about the new fund, stating, "The EDI Fund reflects our commitment to fostering inclusivity and diversity across North Grenville."
The EDI Fund offers grants of up to $3,000 per application, aiming to empower local initiatives that enhance EDI practices, strengthen community cohesion, and foster sustainable EDI-related efforts.
With an annual allotment of $15,000, the fund is dedicated to supporting individuals and organizations committed to advancing EDI principles in North Grenville.
This fund is in keeping with the Municipality’s objectives of creating a more inclusive and diverse community. The fund was modelled off the recently established Municipal Arts and Culture Fund which has enabled small scale, affordable and innovative initiatives that enrich our community.
