Perth and District Community Foundation is accepting grant applications! There's still time to get your grant application in. Don't miss out!

2022 Grant Applications will be accepted until October 29, 2021 

From 2003 – 2020, we gave a total of $1.5m in grants benefitting children, youth, seniors, and families in Perth, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, and Tay Valley.

We address community needs and opportunities through grants to registered charities in the education, recreation, health, environment, arts and culture, and social development sectors.

Projects must directly benefit the residents of Perth, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, and Tay Valley.

Eligible applications are judged by the PDCF Grants Committee, which makes its decisions taking into account

  • the quality of the proposed project

  • the potential impact of the project, and

  • the demonstrated ability of the applicant to carry out the project.

Preference is given to projects that

  • involve collaboration with other community partners

  • are new initiatives or innovative in nature.

Grants are made only to charities registered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or other qualified donees as defined by the CRA (a municipality, a school board, etc.).

All applicants will receive notice of the Foundation’s decision by January 31, 2022.
