The Burlington Community Foundation provides grants to charitable organizations in the local community through our Community Granting Program each fall.
Organizations that serve Burlington, Ontario are welcome to apply online and share how their initiatives, programming, and goals meet the needs of community members and align with the Vital Indicators shared in our Vital Signs reporting.
Our annual Community Granting Program generally opens in mid-September and there are several weeks allotted for organizations to submit their applications. Following review by our BCF Adjudication Committee of community members and BCF staff, successful applicants are notified in November.
To ensure you receive information about our Community Granting Program, including when applications open, subscribe to our BCF newsletter.

New team members must be added to your account by BCF.
