The District of North Saanich Mayor and Council recognize that many not-for-profit organizations provide extremely valuable contributions to our community. Each year a portion of the budget is set aside for community support funding, and applications are carefully considered by Council. Grants are generally intended for organizations which provide a direct benefit to the citizens of the District.
Applications must be submitted no later than the last business day in December for the following year.
For approved applications, a description as to how the grant funds were spent is required to be submitted to the Director of Financial Services by December 31st of the grant year.
