City of Mississauga staff have some explaining to do.
A meeting next week hosted by the City is aimed at explaining the sometimes confusing process of applying for municipal funds under Mississauga's grants program.
The City is now accepting applications from community-based groups and organizations for financial support through its 2009 grants programs, which include corporate, arts and culture, community cultural festivals and celebrations and capacity building (designed for established arts, heritage and cultural groups to provide short-term assistance to help achieve long-term sustainability) funding.
An information session on the grants, including how to apply, will be held Wednesday in the Hearing Room at the Civic Centre. It runs from 7-9 p.m.
"Through our granting programs, the City supports community groups and those working in the areas of arts, culture and heritage," said City manager Janice Baker. "We know this helps strengthen our community and our volunteer sector."
Application forms and grant guidelines are available online at www.mississauga.ca. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2008 at 4 p.m.
All grant requests will be subject to a review to ensure each application meets the required criteria.
