2021 Community Innovation Grant

The Community Innovation Grants (CIG) Program has been established to harness this creative energy - to foster new collaborations and partnerships, to build on and strengthen existing ones, and to find and develop new sustainable approaches to addressing social, health, cultural, economic, environmental and other needs in Waterloo Region.

For the 2021 CIG Program the Regional Municipality of Waterloo will use Strategic Focus Area: Healthy, Safe and Inclusive Communities, with a specific focus on removing barriers to connectivity and learning for the Region’s Black and Indigenous and racialized youth population, created as a result of the pandemic.

The CIG program includes $50,000, where the Region of Waterloo can decide:

• To award the entire annual budget of $50,000 to support one eligible proposal
• To award lesser amounts to several eligible proposals up to the maximum budget of $50,000

Application Deadline: Monday September 20, 2021 at 4:00pm
