Community Grants

Municipal Community Grants Program

The Town of Cobourg’s annual municipal community grants program is designed to provide modest levels of support to non-profit and community-based organizations that propose, through the use of projects and/or programs, to improve the quality of life for local residents and the Cobourg community as a whole.  All grants are contingent upon provision being included in the Town of Cobourg's annual operating budget.
