Purpose

Elliot Lake Retirement Living (ELRL) has created the ELRL Community Grant Program to give back to the community.  The intent of the program is to invest in activities, programs, projects and individuals that help to make Elliot Lake a place that people want to live, retire to and invest in.

 

Qualified Applicants

Any club, group, business, organization or individual can apply for funding from the ELRL Community Grant Program.  To be considered, the applicant must reside, service, or operate in Elliot Lake.

Selection Criteria

ELRL will consider a broad range of requests.  Priority will be given to projects or activities that:

  • Provide opportunities for local residents to participate in the community
  • Promote Elliot Lake as a place to live, work, and invest
  • Enhance the community, either economically, ecologically, or aesthetically
  • Leverage funding from other groups and agencies
  • May become self-sustaining

The funding is not intended to support ongoing operational shortfalls.  Nor should individuals profit directly from the grant.

How to Apply

Applicants are asked to submit their requests in writing and include the following:

  • The name of the applicant, organization or club.
  • Nature of the organization i.e. non-profit, charitable, volunteer etc.
  • Contact information i.e. email, or phone number.

  • The amount of the request.
  • A description of the activity, event, or item to be funded.
  • Explain who will benefit from the grant.
