Muskoka Community Foundation and Township of Lake of Bays Launch New Fund

There’s a new fund from The Muskoka Community Foundation.  The Lake of Bays Community Fund is in partnership with Township of Lake of Bays, and officials say it will support local organizations and programs that are impacting the community.  Officials say the grants will be disbursed only to projects within the Township, adding the projects must be delivered by charitable organizations working in the areas of food insecurity, education, recreation, health and wellness, seniors, children and youth.   They add granting decisions are overseen by the Community Fund Grant Review Committee. “This partnership is a big and positive step forward when it comes to supporting the projects and people that make Lake of Bays such a wonderful place to live,” said Terry Glover, Mayor of Township of Lake of Bays. “Coming together with the Muskoka Community Foundation means that we can amplify the impact of critical organizations within our municipality.”  Glover says the community not-for-profits “enhance the lives of our residents.” “We're incredibly proud of you, and we're thrilled that both Council and the Muskoka Community Foundation can offer you support through this program. I encourage you to jump on this opportunity and apply,” adds Glover. The township’s initial contribution to the fund is $9,500 and officials say information on the first granting cycle will soon be announced. For more, click here.
