Summer Funders Forum Series – Cornwall & SDG

The Funders Forum Series, to be held over the summer of 2025, focuses on promoting awareness and preparedness for upcoming provincial funding opportunities. The forums feature representatives from MRA, MEDJCT, OMAFA, and MLITSD, who will present and discuss their respective grant programs that are scheduled to open during this period. The goal of the series is to provide communities, nonprofits, and economic development stakeholders and local businesses with direct access to funders, helping them better understand available supports, eligibility criteria, and application timelines. We see this as an opportunity to strengthen regional capacity and coordination as we head into a new cycle of funding.
