2026 County of Brant Community Grant Applications are Now Open

The County of Brant and the Brant Community Foundation are pleased to announce the opening of the 2026 County of Brant Community Grant Applications on January 30^th.

The County of Brant Community Grants are open to non-profit community groups that benefit the County of Brant.

The County has awarded Community Grants for many years, historically as part of the budget process and more recently through the Community Grants Committee, which has allowed some separation between the budget allocation and the award processes.

This year marks the third year that Community Grants program has included the Brant Community Foundation as part of the process. 

All County of Brant Community Grant Awards are done so on the basis of providing one-time funding for the applicable budget year.

The total amount available for funding through the Brant County Community Grants in the 2026 round is approximately $135,000.

We anticipate a high level of interest in this round, and applications will be evaluated with consideration of the volume of submissions.

Applications will be accepted for the following:

• Operating Grants (maximum $5,000)
• Event Grant (maximum $5,000)
• Capital Project Grant (maximum $10,000)

New this year: Applications will now be submitted entirely on an online platform, available at: www.brant.ca/2026grants.

Only complete applications with required supporting documents received before the deadline will be reviewed.

The application deadline for the County of Brant Community Grant Program is: 4:00 pm March 6, 2026.

A recorded County Grants Application Tutorial is available. Topics covered during the information session include County Grant guidelines, eligibility criteria, the application process, and important dates. This recording, along with other applicant resources including full guidelines and application questions, can be found at www.brant.ca/2026grants.
