Do you know a not-for-profit community-based initiative you think would benefit from a $10,000 grant from Hensall Co-op? We are introducing another year of our Strong Communities Initiative and are calling for applications for our 2024 program.

The key criteria are as follows:

• Application must be received from Canadian Community-based not for profit organizations in the Hensall Co-op trading area that support the broader rural community

• Funding of a project that will have a long term impact on the community (i.e, not for normal operations)

• Project has a clear and measurable benefit to the rural community

• The project fills a strong need in the rural community; not for the benefit of a single individual

• The organization has demonstrated that they can sustain the initiative to the end of the project

• Priority will be given to organizations that have not received a large scale sponsorship/donation from Hensall Co-op in the past 5 years

• Our employees have identified that Community Health and Healthy living are important to them, therefore, we will give priority to projects in the area of Health and Healthy living

• The organization must also be registered with the Canada Revenue Agency as a charity, have a bank account in its own name and have been operating for over 12 months

More details related to eligibility criteria are outlined in the application form which is available here:
