Neighbourhood Funding – Call for applications

UWP Neighbourhood Funding – Call for applications Now Open!

United Way of Peterborough & District’s (UWP) Neighbourhood Fund provides small, one-time grants to support informal groups of individuals that are working together to improve their neighbourhood or demographic community within the City and County of Peterborough. This funding will support residents to identify solutions and/or opportunities to local neighbourhood or community issues and act on them. A neighbourhood may be defined as a physical place or a connection of people (ie. an online neighbourhood). United Way Neighbourhood Funding will be used to enhance resident engagement and leadership while offering valuable opportunities for residents to get to know their neighbours and engage in their community.

Application Details Available at UWP Website Feb 6, 2018
 –> Deadline for Applications March 9,2018  (5pm)
Funding decisions made by UWP Mid to Late April 2018
