The City of Ottawa is pleased to announce the 2020 CED grants program.
The application closing date is Friday March 20, 2020.
The
annual Community Economic Development (CED) Funding Program provides
financial support to selected projects (not ongoing program expenses)
that are anticipated
to result in:
- Job creation
- Business creation
- Entrepreneurship skills development
- Employability skills development
The
CED Funding Program is focused on having a positive impact on
disadvantaged populations (e.g. lower income youth and older adults,
rural residents, new immigrants,
visible minorities, etc.), while also demonstrating social justice and
inclusion, and/or cultural diversification benefits.
Projects
should help build community capacity to support these objectives beyond
the project funding period. Projects should help targeted populations
to overcome
identified disadvantages. Projects should build inclusivity for
populations that are under-represented in the mainstream economy.
The
CED Grants Funding Program awards a total of up to $280,000 per year,
distributed among the top-ranked proposals that are selected by a jury
panel of reviewers.
While proposals may have inherent merits, funds are awarded only among
the top-ranked projects, until the annual funding maximum is reached.
Please follow this link for more information and to submit your proposal. (English)
