OTF announces grant application deadlines for 2022-23

The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) has published application deadlines for grant streams available in 2022-2023. OTF will be offering Resilient Communities Fund, Capital and Youth Opportunities Fund grants to support non-profits, Municipalities, Indigenous communities, and grassroots groups as they rebuild capacity and meet the needs of their communities.

Building healthy and vibrant communities in Ontario begins with the civic engagement, leadership, and drive of those working in the non-profit sector. Together, grassroots groups, communities and non-profit organizations help create a sense of belonging and empower positive change. They improve public spaces and reduce isolation for people of all ages and identity. They play a vital role in delivering programs, services and capacity building supports that contribute to the health and well-being of Ontarians.

As a leading granting agency in Ontario, OTF invests in community-based initiatives and strengthens the impact of the non-profit sector. In 2022, eligible organizations and groups can apply for the following grants to support their work and their communities:
