Today, the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) announces an investment of $28M into 291 Capital grants. The approved capital projects will enable more Ontarians to have access to safe, quality community spaces and programs across Ontario.

Through its granting programs, OTF invests in projects that provide a direct benefit to Ontarians and help build healthy and vibrant communities across the province. Through the Capital grant stream, OTF supports local projects that create safe, accessible, and welcoming spaces to connect, be active, learn, and grow. 

By investing in capital improvements to community facilities and spaces, OTF helps non-profit organizations deliver high-quality programming to the communities they serve. 

With Capital grants, non-profit organizations can update buildings, enhance spaces, and purchase fixed and non-fixed equipment to: 

  • Maintain or increase access to a program or service
  • Extend the life of a facility or space
  • Improve a facility or space to make it more accessible
