The new fundraiser will also enhance existing sponsorship campaigns while further developing donor programs.
The town’s director of marketing, arts and communications thanked the foundation for the grant.
“We are so grateful for OTF’s support in helping us to develop fundraising and detailed sponsorship plans to come out of the COVID-19 intermission with goal-focused fundraising and plans for development of even more community sponsorship,” said Laurissa Ellsworth.
Five local non-profit organizations will share over $300,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
The money is being made available through the Resilient Communities Fund and will go toward helping them recover from the negative impacts of the pandemic.
Bayfield Agricultural Society, Tiverton Agricultural Society, Blyth Centre for the Arts, Community Living Walkerton & District, and the Pegasus Riding Association Nurturing Challenged Equestrians will each get a portion of the grant money.
Grants can range from $5000 to $150,000.
